Big fan of the story. Very excited to see whatever they come up with.

Graveyard Shift as a film really had to invent most of its story, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did do it, claimed that it would be 'closer to the book' and still just invented a completely new story, since there really wasn't much there to begin with.
I haven't read The Long Walk, but from the synopsis, it sounds like it probably heavily influence The Hunger Games, and the movie will be called a Hunger Games rip off by its fans.

I never even heard of the story before. Will try to give it a read.

The book was great. I don't know how they can film it without it just being another run-of-the-mill Stephen King adaptation.

I'd say most have been pretty good. Some real bad ones of course. 'The Running Man' needs another adaptation as the film wasn't anything like the novella at all. |

I’d wonder if they’d have the guts to stick to the novel ending of the running man. It’s very bleak and 9-11 esque. |

If they do adapt another 'Running Man' they should keep as close to the source material as possible. |
