Finally! The Long Walk is getting made!
New Line are going to make "The Long Walk" into a film. Long overdue imho as this story always would have made an excellent film.

Such a good story but I've always wondered how it would transfer to the big screen. Are they gonna "action it up"? and change the story?
shareI hope not. It doesn't need it.
shareI have always thought that this would be the easiest story to film. No big sets and multiple locations. Just a good solid story.
Can't wait to see the cast list!
Definitely should be easy to film, I'm just worried they're going to apply some standard Hollywood movie formula to it to make it more "exciting".
shareWell, I hope it's as gritty and real as it is in the written story. I also hope that there are NO break away scenes where they decide that they want to show The behind the scenes with the military.
If they stick with the walk and the boys, that is all that is needed.
It can be explained what is going on in the beginning. I hope this one won't be messed up.
