Lionsgate UK has announced the 12 September UK and Ireland cinema release date for THE LONG WALK, directed by Francis Lawrence and based on Stephen King’s novel. A new trailer and artwork have launched alongside the film.
From the highly anticipated adaptation of master storyteller Stephen King’s first novel. And Francis Lawrence, the visionary director of The Hunger Games franchise films (Catching Fire, Mockingjay – Parts 1 & 2, and The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), comes THE LONG WALK. An intense, chilling, and emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a haunting question: how far could you go?
PREMISE
A group of teenage boys competes in an annual contest called “The Long Walk,” where they must keep a specific walking speed. If they fail to do so, they face deadly consequences.
In the near future, when America has become a police state, one hundred boys are selected to enter an annual contest. The winner will be awarded whatever he wants for the rest of his life. The game is simple: maintain a steady walking pace of four miles per hour without stopping. Three warnings, and you’re out—permanently.
