Article Summary

Lionsgate has unveiled the first official poster for The Long Walk, a new Stephen King movie adaptation.

The highly anticipated trailer for The Long Walk will debut later today, ahead of its fall release.

Francis Lawrence directs the film, which promises an emotional, intense cinematic adaptation of King’s novel.

The Long Walk is scheduled to hit theaters on September 12, 2025, bringing King’s story to the big screen.

It has never been a better time to be a Stephen King fan because his stuff keeps getting picked up for adaptations by these absolutely fantastic directors who turn out great movies 90% of the time. Sure, there are some misses here and there, but the fact that they seem to be nailing it more than they are missing says a lot about the quality of the source material and the calibre of people working on these projects. While a lot of people are going to be focused on The Life of Chuck, because it has already premiered at TIFF and will be out first, there is another King adaptation that looks fantastic. During the Lionsgate presentation, we saw some footage from director Francis Lawrence’s adaptation of The Long Walk. It looked like it would put you through the emotional ringer, and Lionsgate is dropping a trailer for everyone to see later today. It’s unclear if this will be the same trailer we saw last month, but either way, we’re in for a treat. The first poster was released earlier today and has the logline explaining the premise in three words: walk or die.
