Lionsgate shares new trailer for Stephen King adaptation 'The Long Walk' at San Diego Comic-Con

At San Diego Comic-Con, Lionsgate debuted a new trailer in Hall H for Francis Lawrence's The Long Walk, based on the novel by Stephen King. The panel included a discussion with cast members David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Mark Hamill, producer Roy Lee, and screenwriter JT Mollner.

From the highly anticipated adaptation of master storyteller Stephen King’s first-written novel, and Francis Lawrence, the visionary director of The Hunger Games franchise films, comes THE LONG WALK, an intense, chilling, and emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a haunting question: how far could you go?

“We so wanted to make sure we had the beauty and love in the story of friendship — and also the brutality, hopelessness and terror,” Mollner expressed. 

"If this book got into the wrong hands, the wrong studio, it could have been neutered. We kept the teeth," he continued to add. "It definitely has bite. It needs to. It wouldn’t work if we didn’t go all the way. It is an unrelenting and brave film."
