“Walk… until there’s only one of you left. Who’s ready to win?!” Holy crap this looks intense! Lionsgate has revealed the first official trailer for The Long Walk, a riveting thriller from filmmakers Francis Lawrence & JT Mollner. From master storyteller Stephen King’s first-written novel, and Francis Lawrence, director of The Hunger Games franchise films comes this grueling story of boys out on a never-ending walk. In the near future, where America has become a police state, one hundred boys are selected to enter an annual contest where 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. Featuring a poster inspired by the original 1979 book cover. Starring Cooper Hoffman (from Saturday Night), David Jonsson (from Alien: Romulus), Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Roman Griffin Davis, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick, Josh Hamilton, with Judy Greer, and Mark Hamill. Damn this looks good! Was not expecting TWO Stephen King adaptations (also see The Life of Chuck) to be some of the best movies of 2025, but here we go. I’ll be there opening night for this one.

Here’s the first trailer (+ poster) for Francis Lawrence’s thriller The Long Walk, direct from YouTube:

From the highly anticipated adaptation of master storyteller Stephen King’s first-written novel (originally published in 1979), along with 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, emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a haunting question: how far could you go? The Long Walk is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Francis Lawrence, director of the movies Constantine, I Am Legend, Water for Elephants, Hunger Games: Catching Fire + Mockingjay 1 & 2 + The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Red Sparrow, and Slumberland previously. The screenplay is written by JT Mollner, also the writer & director of the films Outlaws & Angels and Strange Darling. Based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King (under the pseudonym Richard Bachman). Produced by Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Francis Lawrence, Cameron MacConomy. Lionsgate will debut Lawrence’s The Long Walk movie in theaters nationwide starting September 12th, 2025 later this year. Thoughts? Look good?
