it was around the time of the movie, but I can't remember if I read the book or saw the movie first

all I really recall of the book was a description of the prospective contestants lined up with no clothes on, and King describing how their dongs swung between their legs like clubs

my life is nothing I thought it should be and everything I was worried it would become

Always wished they had done a movie based on The Long Walk from the Bachman Books.

Lack of action might make it tough to film

Definitely fits with the whole YA dystopia vibe of Hunger Games, though. Given the various knock offs and similar movies that got made, it’s mildly surprising nobody gave the Long Walk a shot. Could probably make it on a shoestring budget.

seems like it might be tough to translate to film

I think the flashback potential would be good. Plus you could probably add a lot of stuff.

Might be able to get the main message of the internal dialogue out there.

Could do weird hallucination scenes also...that would be fun.
