so wow, Frank Darabont is planning on making a film based on King's The Long Walk?

"What about an adaptation of Stephen King's "The Long Walk"? "'It's going to be coming up I think pretty shortly. But I'll be making it, I'm sure, even more cheaply than "The Mist" because I don't want to blow the material out of proportion. It's such a very simple, weird, almost art film-like approach to telling a story" says Darabont."

for me, this is one King's most disturbing short stories or novellas.

Great news - I hope he gets to make it soon. -- nm - LMS Jun 26, 08:45
Has a director ever latched onto a single author's work more than Darabont? - TFox Jun 26, 08:43 3
- Well...he's still batting 1.000, so why not? And Long Walk will be perfect for Darabont. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:47 2
  - Oh, I'm all for it. He can make me my weird as hell The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon movie too. - TFox Jun 26, 08:49 1
    - Having seen interviews with both guys...I think that's exactly it. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:49
WOO HOO!!!!!! There's no need for a huge budget on this one. It's pretty straight forward and will only need good performances to make it great. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:42
