Article Summary
- A tense new clip from The Long Walk highlights the brutal stakes for the boys in Lionsgate's adaptation.

Lionsgate is not holding back when it comes to showing audiences exactly what is on the line for the boys in The Long Walk. The trailer is pretty brutal, but in the new clip released today, there isn't any hiding from the violence. This is a movie that's going to earn that R-rating, and even the people in the comment section of YouTube were not expecting what happens at the end. Adaptations of Stephen King's books have been trending more positively than negatively these days, and with the excellent cast and director, this one could be the kind that stays with you for a while. If they manage to nail that ending, "staying with you" is putting it lightly.
