What happens in The Long Walk trailer?
The Long Walk trailer sees a number of teenagers forced to walk for miles on end without stopping. The annual contest only stops when there’s one person left standing — and those who don’t win face deadly consequences.
The official synopsis for the movie reads, “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 (Catching Fire, Mockingjay – Pts. 1 & 2, and The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), comes The Long Walk, an intense, chilling, and emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a haunting question: how far could you go?”
In addition to Hoffman and Hamill, the cast of the movie includes David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Roman Griffin Davis, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick, Josh Hamilton, and Judy Greer.
The script comes from JT Mollner. Lawrence serves as a producer on the movie alongside Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, and Cameron MacConomy.
“Anything that has a contest with death as the stakes and some sort of big prize if you win can be connected in some way,” Lawrence recently told Vanity Fair. “But in The Hunger Games, everybody’s competing in a very different kind of way. There are alliances and you are trying to kill one another. Here, you’re not actually trying to kill one another. It’s a very different dynamic, in terms of relationships.”
The Long Walk will be released in United States theaters on September 12, 2025, from Lionsgate.
