Cooper Hoffman & David Jonsson Take The Long Walk In First Trailer

Lionsgate has today released the first trailer for their upcoming Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk, which opens in cinemas this Autumn.

Directed by Francis Lawrence, he of The Hunger Games and Constantine fame, the film is an adaptation of the novel from legendary author Stephen King and tells of a “dystopian 1979 horror” that was originally published by Richard Bachman, King’s writing pseudonym. The film stars Cooper Hoffman (Licorice Pizza), David Jonsson (Alien: Romulus), and Mark Hamill (Star Wars, The Life of Chuck).

The story focuses on “a dystopian America that is entertained by the Long Walk — a competition in which 50 teenage boys walk without rest. Each competitor must keep walking faster than three miles per hour, continuously — or risk being eliminated. The last boy remaining earns a prize of his choosing.” (from Deadline)
