About The Long Walk Movie
The Long Walk is an upcoming American horror film based on Stephen King’s 1979 novel of the same name. The film is directed by Francis Lawrence, with a screenplay written by JT Mollner.
The production journey of the film began in 1988 when George A. Romero was considered to direct the adaptation, but the project never came to fruition. In 2007, Frank Darabont acquired the rights to the novel with the intent to make the film, but after many years of inactivity, the rights lapsed.
In April 2018, New Line Cinema announced plans to adapt the novel, with James Vanderbilt attached to write and produce, alongside Bradley Fischer and William Sherak through their Mythology Entertainment banner. By May 2019, André Øvredal was set to direct the adaptation. After 4 years in November 2023, Lionsgate took over production, with Francis Lawrence directing from a screenplay by JT Mollner.
On June 10, 2024, Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson joined the cast. The following month, Garrett Wareing (whose role was confirmed by JT Mollner on Twitter), Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Izabella Raven, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick, Roman Griffin Davis, Mark Hamill, and Judy Greer also joined the cast.
This marks Mark Hamill’s first Stephen King adaptation since The Life of Chuck (2024), and Judy Greer’s first since Carrie (2013).
Principal photography began on July 24, 2024, in Winnipeg and completed on September 12, 2024.
