Stephen King is making headlines again with a flurry of developments worth a spot on Biography Flash. First up, the spotlight is on the new film adaptation of The Long Walk, which hits theaters September 12. Multiple outlets including SlashFilm and The Independent report that King personally demanded that this film adaptation maintain the raw brutality of his original 1979 novel, going so far as to insist that the violence involving teenage characters be shown on screen rather than glossed over. Director Francis Lawrence and writer JT Mollner heeded his call and the resulting movie is described as “brutal,” staying true to the tone of the book. This comes as the film’s early critic score on Rotten Tomatoes arrived at a stellar 100 percent and now holds at an impressive 94 percent ahead of its debut. Forecasts suggest a modest domestic opening weekend, with industry watchers at Box Office Theory projecting it will bring in $6 to $11 million amid stiff competition from titles like Downton Abbey and Demon Slayer.
On the promotional circuit, Stephen King has been directly engaging with fans through Reddit, participating in an AMA hosted by Lionsgate. Questions ranged from fan reflections on his creativity to the inevitable question about retirement. King shared his longevity secret—keep working, let the mind respond, but also know when to hang up the pen. He hinted there could be a day when he retires, saying he hopes to have the sense to quit before the “good stuff” runs out. But for now, he’s grateful to still feel the creative spark.
As for what chills the Master of Horror these days, King revealed that the last movie to truly scare him was Weapons, the breakout horror hit from director Zach Cregger, and the last TV show to unnerve him was Fall of the House of Usher. He made these comments during his Reddit event, demonstrating, as always, that he keeps a sharp eye on where horror is headed.
There’s also news on local stages: Stephen King’s Misery will be performed at the Prairie Players Civic Theatre in Galesburg from September 12 through 21, proving once again his work is as alive on stage as it is on screen.
On the social media front, King remains active, regularly posting to his Threads account, generating thousands of likes and hundreds of comments with each post. While recent posts have kept to his signature mix of humor and literary wit, his ongoing commentary continues to spark enthusiastic debate among his followers.
On the edges of the news cycle, there was minor chatter involving British comedian Graham Linehan, who tried to draw King into Maine politics on social media, but there’s no indication King replied directly or amplified that controversy.
King’s impact remains cultural and personal, with virtual book clubs, like the Doylestown Bookshop’s discussion of The Stand, drawing fans old and new. That wraps the latest on Stephen King.
