The Long Walk claims its first victim in the red band clip below, previewing the film’s harrowing dystopia.
Based on Stephen King’s 1979 novel of the same name, the movie walks into theaters on September 12 from Lionsgate.
The story follows Raymond Garraty, a 16-year old who takes part in an annual contest in which 100 teens must journey, nonstop and under strict rules, until only one is left alive.
Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, Constantine) directs from a script by JT Mollner (Strange Darling).
Cooper Hoffman (Licorice Pizza), David Jonsson (Alien: Romulus), Garrett Wareing (“Manifest”), Tut Nyout (“The Witcher: Blood Origin”), Charlie Plummer (The Clovehitch Killer), Ben Wang (Karate Kid: Legends), Roman Griffin Davis (Jojo Rabbit), Jordan Gonzalez (“Pretty Little Liars: Origin Sin”), Joshua Odjick (Welcome to Derry), Josh Hamilton (“The Walking Dead”), Judy Greer (Halloween), and Mark Hamill (The Life of Chuck) star.
Lawrence produces with Roy Lee (IT, Doctor Sleep), Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity), and Cameron MacConomy (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes).
The Long Walk is rated “R” for “strong bloody violence, grisly images, suicide, pervasive language, and sexual references.”
