Like lots of King’s works, the novel fearlessly explores the darker facet of human nature. Its themes and subject material, the human price of survival, the worth of camaraderie, and the odd relatability of dystopian horror, foreshadow the success of future franchises like The Starvation Video games.
Which is why it’s so incredible that Lawrence will likely be directing Stephen King’s The Lengthy Stroll, because the director is widely known for his masterful of simply that franchise, alongside I Am Legend—which, clearly, ranks extremely within the pantheon of recent dystopian movies.
He’s the perfect match for adapting King’s supply materials, translating the uber-intense and character-driven narrative of the novel to the large display. Anticipate a convincingly dystopian world involving highly effective performances.
