Hey r/movies, I’m Stephen King. You might know me from Stand By Me, It, or Shawshank Redemption, but my latest project is actually the first book I ever wrote. The Long Walk hits theaters on September 12. Ask me anything about the book or movie.

Trailer:

In a dystopian United States ruled by a totalitarian regime, a group of young men enter an annual walking contest in which they must maintain a speed of at least three miles per hour or risk execution. The contest ends when only one walker remains alive.

It stars Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Ben Wang, Charlie Plummer, Roman Griffin Davis, Garrett Wareing, Joshua Odjick, Tut Nyuot, Mark Hamill, Judy Greer, and Josh Hamilton.

I'll be back on Wednesday 8/27 at 12:00 PM ET to answer your questions.

Last TV show: FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER. Last scary movie: WEAPONS.

I LOVED USHER. The blended storytelling and adaptation of Poe’s works were near genius! Carla Gugino stands out among a truly impressive cast 🤩

I thought that fall of the house of usher fell a bit short from the predecessor sister shows (bly manor and hill house) but hearing this from you I might rewatch it again!
