This is my favorite Stephen King novel, I read it 27 years ago. The rights hot bought and then came back up. Roy Lee my producer brought it to me. For me, it was the conceit that was very interesting. You can imagine yourself in the shoes of these young men. World building –the heart of the movie for me is about these young men, their comraderies, the love that forms. This isn’t a try to knock each other out competition, but how we can hold each other up competition.
- Francis Lawrence
If you can’t be the hero, there’s nothing better than being the villain.
- Mark Hamill
Deadline also described the trailer:
In the trailer, a villainous Hamill fires the starting gun and says, “Walk until there is only one of you left.” The boys set out, walking and talking, even joking, Surrounded by tanks on the long dusty road, they realize their situation is truly grim as friends are injured and killed and their ranks dwindle. “You walk as long as you can,” says Hamil in voiceover. “For some, the heart will stop, for other the brain, and the blood will flow … There’s one winner and no finish line.”
