First published anonymously as Richard Bachman in 1979, the novel “The Long Walk” came very near to being transformed into a movie on several occasions.

At various stages, legendary horror director George Romero, the showrunner and director of “The Walking Dead” Frank Darabont, and Norwegian filmmaker André Øvredal were all associated with separate adaptations of the “Night of the Living Dead” story, but none of these projects ultimately materialized.

The Long Walk is released in cinemas on 12 September.
