Another week, another announcement that a Stephen King story is being developed into a feature film, with The Long Walk being the latest of the author's novels to move forward into the development stage. James Vanderbilt will be writing the screenplay with New Line Cinema, who produced last year's IT, helping bring the film to life. The novel was originally released in 1979 and Frank Darabont, who directed the adaptations The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and The Mist, had been attempting to develop the film and held exclusive rights to an adaptation. That adaptation is slated to hit theaters in 2020.
