The Long Walk

A film adaptation of Stephen King’s 1979 post-apocalyptic novel, The Long Walk, which concerns a deadly walkathon in which contestants must keep a pace of four miles per hour without stopping, is now in development at New Line. James Vanderbilt (Zodiac) is slated to write and produce. [THR]

Sweet.  Coincidentally, this story kept me from going crazy one summer between semesters.  I got a bad case of poison ivy and couldn’t sleep.  Reading this story got me through a couple of nights.

I also wonder why it took so long to bring this to the screen.  Seems as if the concept would be perfect for the dystopian Hunger Games type crowd.

I read this one in 8th grade and was fascinated by the concept which now seems to be the soup of the day. Hopefully this will not be a Maze Runner type adaptation.

Maze Runner.  Thx.  That was the other movie I was trying to think of in my previous post.

Maybe because The Road wasn’t well received commercially. I’ve still not seen it.
