Stephen King’s The Long Walk Adaptation Zeroes In On First Cast Members

THE Long Walk adaptation is confirmed for filming in July 2024, with potential leads Copper Hoffman and David Jonsson.

 

The premise suggests the need for multiple male actors, this Hoffman and Jonsson possibly portraying the main characters.

 

Hoffman and Jonsson, though not officially confirmed, have promising resumes for their potential roles in The Long Walk.

 

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.

 

 

The Long Walk’s premise suggests that this forthcoming adaptation to the big screen will require many male actors and characters to bring to life King’s distant, dystopian world. While no actors have been officially confirmed, Hoffman and Jonsson could be playing Raymond Garraty and Peter McVriees, the two main characters from King’s book. Both actors have a fairly light resume, but their recent and past works suggest that they could be a perfect fit for their respective roles.
Hoffman made his film debut only a few years ago, starring in Paul Anderson’s Oscar-nominated romcom Licorice Pizza. He played Gary Valentine, a teenage actor who develops a relationship with a 25-year-old photographer’s assistant. Hoffman’s performance led to subsequent roles in movies like the aforementioned Wildcat and the upcoming comedy, Old Guy.
Jonsson started his career on the theater stage and eventually made his film debut in 2018, starring in ITV’s detective drama Endeavor. He appeared briefly as a field agent in another British show titled Deep State before signing on to play Dom in Rye Lane and Augustus Lackey in Industry, arguably his most famous role to date. He can also be seen in the upcoming Alien: Romulus. Jonsson and Hoffman have yet to be officially confirmed for The Long Walk, but if they are, it’ll be interesting to see how they both tackle their respective roles. (Source: deadline.com)
