After years of age (and years) in the development of hell, One of Steven King's earliest and most brutal novels Finally comes to the big screen - and we have proof! Lionsgate has released the first trailer for "The Long Walk", which hits theaters this fall. While King is not the one to withdraw, this is one of his most unusual brutal works, with young people going to their deaths, while the last stands in the post-apocalyptic, dark vision of the future. Check it yourself above.

"Long Walk" is very similar to King's "Hunger Games", Although without any talent. This is tricky, horrible and very ranked with R. It may make sense that Francis Lawrence, best known for his work on The Hunger Games, is in the director's chair for this. Lionsgate does not give us much by conspiracy, with the official synopsis describing the film as "an intense, cooling and emotional thriller that causes the audience to oppose the persecutive question: how far could you go?"

The studio collected the cast for adaptation, led by Cooper Hoffman ("Pizza Pizza") and David Onsonson ("Alien: Romulus"). The ensemble also includes Garrett Warding ("Manifesto"), Tut Neut ("The Witcher: Blood Origin"), Charlie Plummer ("Spontaneous", Ben Wang ("Medium Girls"), Roman Griffin Davis ("Jojo Rabbit"), Jordan Gonzalez Joshuak (("Ant-man") and Mark Hamil ("Starwell War").

Everyone who reads the "long walk" knows that it is especially gloomy. King's works often have a supernatural element in the game, making them feel a little excluded from reality. Here, it's just a dystopian future and there is nothing to say that this cannot happen, the kind of way "Purification" could have been very wrong in a world, technically,. Based on this trailer, it seems that Lawrence does not pull shots in adjusting this screen story.

Over the years, several directors have tried - and have failed - to turn this book into a movie. Let's not exceed the exhaustive history here, but the likes of George A. Romero ("Night of the Live Dead"), Frank Darawant ("Fog") and Andre Judald ("terrible stories to tell in the dark") all spent time developing the project. So, it is impressive just to see that it is honest with goodness. Outside, it's a damn beautiful teaser that seems to be very faithful to the original material.

It is also interesting to see Mark Hamil, who knows most of the world as Luke Skywalker from "Starwells War", taking a complete wicked twist here as the main. His speaker fastens the overall trailer. It is also interesting because Hamil has become something of Stephen King Staple in recent years, As he starred in Mike Flanagan's "Life of Chuck" this summerAfter his work in the "Fall of the Usher House". It's just a teaser, but after all these years it seems that this story is finally due.
