So, 'The Long Walk'... that's two Stephen King adaptations this year that have flopped at the box office * but I truly loved. I've been waiting for this one for decades, literally, seeing as I read the original novella in my teens and loved it... it's been mooted for a film version a few times over the years and we've finally got it... and it's genuinely one of the best book to film adaptations I've ever seen. The makers keep the original story for the most part but the bits that they change actually improve on the storyline. And it's beautifully made throughout, albeit somewhat shocking and bloody at times. Has anyone else read the book and are interesting in seeing this movie? If so, you should. Here's the trailer for the uninitiated...
