The adaptation of Stephen King’s The Long Walk is getting close to confirming its first couple of cast members. Set in a distant future, The Long Walk revolves around a deeply exacting, annual walking contest where about 100 teenage boys walk south through Maine and must not drop below four miles per hour, or they will be fatally shot. After languishing in limbo for years, it was finally confirmed that The Long Walk adaptation will happen and filming will begin in July 2024.

Now, with the filming start date of The Long Walk fast approaching, Deadline reports that Copper Hoffman, who recently starred in Ethan Hawke’s Wildcat, and Rye Lane cast member David Jonsson, are both currently in the mix to lead the forthcoming adaptation’s ensemble cast. The roles these two are likely to play is yet to be revealed.
