The long walk 2025 spoiler pg 2

A lot of first reactions coming from this movie are great. Not really a horror movie, but more of a stand by me movie.
Currently half way through the audio book and I can get that vibe.
The book is a little boring in a way, but I could assume they could build good tension scenes in the movie.
Anyone else looking forward to the movie and/or read the book?
No spoilers yet

One of my top 5 favorite books of all time. Really looking forward to this one.

Book is one of my favorites. Honestly I don’t see how a movie will really produce the same tension as so much of it was internal.

I haven’t read the book. Looking forward to the movie though and I’ll probably pick up the book after. I only wish I hadn’t seen the trailer before every movie I’ve watched in theaters the last few months.
It’s been a very successful year for King film adaptations. If you haven’t watched The Monkey (comedic horror/Hulu) or The Life of Chuck (drama/VOD) I highly recommend those too.

Very intrigued by the trailer for this one. If nothing else, it's sort of a new idea and seems like it could make for an interesting/intense movie.

Who's reading it? Because the book is pretty intense from the moment they start walking.

I’m just listening to the audio book. Could be the guy reading it or maybe it’s just my mind kinda going in and out while working.
Sometime that’s the downfall of audio books. If the reader is slightly monotone and not charismatic they could loose you at parts.

I think this is the movie I've seen on instagram of people walking at 3.1 mph the entire movie. It seemed like a cool concept for people to show the movie in with watchers kind of participating

Can you list your other 4 for us?

Sorry I miss understood.
Kirby heyborne (no idea who it is) is the guy who did the audio book that I used on Spotify.
Guess I’ll go make a post on the book forum now that I finished it

The best part of the movie is Mark Hamill's acting. Because he literally plays himself, an insane liberal. They probably told him all the boys were Nelk or the Maga crew lol

I cheated and read the wikipedia synopsis . I don't think I missed anything and saved some time.

For some reason when I read the book I pictured the major as Ted Levine (the guy that played buffalo bill back in the day). Mark Hammill actually looks kinda like him.

Read the book probably before many of you were born, when I was in college in 1985. It was one of 4 books that King wrote under a pseudonym (Richard Bachman) that were packaged together in a volume called "The Bachman Books", which also included Rage, Roadwork, and the most famous one, The Running Man.
That story resonated strongly with me back then; I wasn't much older than the boys in the story, and the dystopian future after a military coup was a scary, bizarre angle. I saw the whole walk as an allegory about life in general-- you have to keep going, the only alternative to living is dying. Another friend who read it thought that it was an allegory about young men going off to war-- promise of a big prize if you survive, but more than likely you won't and there is a lot of suffering along the way.
I am looking forward to seeing the movie version to see if they did it justice.

Feels like they have been trying to make this movie for over 30 years. Probably my favorite King book and one which he actually stuck the landing.

You beat me to it. It was 1989 before I read The Bachman Books. It was the first of his work that I read (after finishing up Skeleton Crew). So in short order, I read the novellas in Skeleton Crew like: The Mist, The Raft, Mrs. Todd's Shortcut, The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet...and then the stories like: The Long Walk, Rage, The Running Man and Roadwork.
That was when I discovered that it isn't horror that makes Steven King's writing great...it is the depth of characters that he creates. From there, I went on to The Stand and It. I have high hopes for this movie, but I also know that nobody has ever been able to truly capture characters like his books.
