shadows of people on a road on the book cover of stephen king's the long walk
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. The Big Picture At long last, production is heating up on The Long Walk, Lionsgate's upcoming film adaptation of horror master Stephen King's 1979 novel - and we now know who will be taking that walk. Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson are in negotiations to star in The Long Walk, according to Deadline.
Casting for The Long Walk puts a bow on a long-winded process for the film. After years in development hell, New Line Cinema purchased the rights to the novel in 2018, but it languished even longer before Lionsgate picked up the rights last year with Francis Lawrence attached to direct. Lawrence will direct from a script by JT Mollner and is also producing alongside Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment. As Collider previously reported, filming is scheduled to begin this coming July.
