“We’re thrilled to welcome the stars of The Long Walk to Beyond Fest,” said head of programming Evrim Ersoy. “Francis Lawrence has made an extraordinary and faithful adaptation of the first book Stephen King ever wrote, and the result is a powerful and visceral film that’s still living in my head. It’s unforgettable, and I’m looking forward to sharing it with Beyond Fest and American Cinematheque audiences.”

Based on the first novel Stephen King ever wrote, The Long Walk opens nationwide on September 12 from Lionsgate.

In a dystopian United States ruled by a totalitarian regime, 50 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.

Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, Constantine) directs from a script by JT Mollner (Strange Darling).

Lawrence produces with Roy Lee (IT, Doctor Sleep), Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity), and Cameron MacConomy (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes).
