'The Long Walk,' Stephen King Teamed Up With This TV Legend on HBO for One of His Best Adaptations Ever

Stephen King’s dark breadth of work has been combed for another adaptation. Directed by Francis Lawrence, The Long Walk is part of King’s Richard Bachman collection, a pen name that contains some of his most disturbing works. Before fans sink their teeth into what should be a harrowing experience at the cinema, they should turn their attention to an adaptation that was dark as well as emotionally resonant. In 2020, HBO released a limited series adaptation of King’s book, The Outsider. The property was part of a series of books featuring Holly Gibney, a private investigator found in the midst of different phenomena.
