A number of classic movies have been made from Stephen King novels, including Carrie, Cujo, The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption and The Shining, just to name a few. But one Stephen King novel that has never received a movie adaptation from Hollywood is The Long Walk. That is until now.
Set to be among the 2025 new movie slate, The Long Walk brings King’s 1979 novel (written under his pseudonym Richard Bachman) to the big screen. There have been a few attempts to develop it prior, from notable filmmakers like George A. Romero and Frank Darabont, but their productions stalled. Now movie fans are going to see King’s dystopian tale play out.
