Suomessa 12. syyskuuta ensi-iltansa saava The Long Walk eli Pitkä marssi on Stephen Kingin nihilistisimpiä teoksia.
Nälkäpeli-ohjaaja Francis Lawrencen elokuvasovitusta on hehkutettu maailmalla.
Tarina kertoo tappavasta kilpailusta, jossa teinipojat marssivat pitkän marssin, mutta vain yksi voi jäädä eloon. Voittaja tienaa jättisumman rahaa.
Kävelijöitä ovat muun muassa Licorice Pizzan Cooper Hoffman, Alien: Romuluksen David Jonsson, Jojo Rabbitin Roman Griffin Davis, Karate Kid: Legendsin Ben Wang sekä All the Money in the Worldin Charlie Plummer.
Mukana on myös useita merkittäviä näyttelijöitä aikuisrooleissa, kuten Mark Hamill Majurina, joka valvoo kilpailun sääntöjä, sekä Judy Greer Cooper Hoffmanin hahmon äitinä, Mrs. Garratyna.

THE LONG WALK is one of the most powerful Stephen King adaptations in recent years. Francis Lawrence pulls no punches, driving home the book’s themes of how authoritarianism continues to eat away at today’s youth.

#TheLongWalk is an incredibly harrowing, terrifying, and traumatizing film.
Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson give Oscar-worthy performances.
It’s maybe a tad long, but it does really sell the world it creates & the characters viewers find themselves walking with until the end. pic.twitter.com/orJfdu8K4W

THE LONG WALK finally brings Stephen King’s 1979 dystopian novel to the screen in an adaptation that preserves its core essence while making a few surprising changes that not only worked for me but also made this impactful story resonate even more for our dark and troubled times.… pic.twitter.com/ss3o4MiG2d

THE LONG WALK: an absolutely brutal experience that left me visibly shocked. Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson’s friendship is sweet to watch in the midst of the grueling moments and physical struggles. It’s Stephen King in the vein of Hunger Games: purely intense. #TheLongWalk pic.twitter.com/wgyfSNF7mn

I can now say I watched THE LONG WALK a while back & this is one of the most intense & emotional films you’ll watch all year. Captivating from start to finish, an insanely incredible film.
Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson deliver an all-timer duo performance together here too https://t.co/d2DmkZYSYG

I felt every step of brutality in THE LONG WALK that by the end I was soaked in my tears. Brutal, nihilistic yet tenderly human exploitation of boyhood. Showcasing how boyhood has been used as a spectacle to build a totalitarian America and the manipulation America places on men. pic.twitter.com/ErKlGJe25L
