According to Deadline, Licorice Pizza star Cooper Hoffman and Rye Lane breakout David Jonsson are both in talks to lead the upcoming Stephen King adaptation 'The Long Walk'.
Originally published under his Richard Bachman pseudonym in 1979, King's novel takes place in a world where 100 teenage boys take part in the annual "Long Walk" competition. This particular long walk has three simple yet brutal rules: the boys must maintain a speed above 4 miles per hour; if they receive three warnings in an hour, then they get shot dead; and the last one walking gets whatever he wants for the rest of his life.
