    In an interview with Collider, Greer opened up about her experience working on The Long Walk, diving into the story’s dark themes and the impressive young talent featured in the film.

    “Yeah, it’s called The Long Walk . It’s based on a novel Stephen King wrote in 1979. It was in response to the Vietnam War. Our movie kind of takes place again in sort of like a timeless place. Like there’s some technology, but then there’s a lot of throwback elements to the script. Francis Lawrence directed it, and Cooper Hoffman is the star. There are so many great young actors in this movie. I’m excited for all the talent that’s going to emerge.”

    Greer also emphasized the intensity of King’s story and how it resonated with her on set. “It’s a really, really, really dark story, and it’ll probably be perfect for when it comes out,” she noted. She even admitted that her husband read the novel while she was filming, which gave her a special level of understanding to the project. “My husband just read the book, and every night in bed, he’d be just turning a page going like, ‘Oh my God, oh my God,’” she laughed. “I’m like, ‘I know. I was telling you every day when I was shooting.’ He’s like, ‘Yeah, but it’s really dark!’”

    While the story’s brutal premise is definitely going to be tough to watch at times, Greer spoke to the beauty and depth of the performances she witnessed on set. “It’s a dark story about a competition show. But it’s beautiful, and the performances that I got to watch when I was on set were stunning,” she said. Greer also praised Lawrence’s casting decisions, pointing out how refreshing it was to work with relative newcomers to projects of this scale.

    “Personally, it’s so nice sometimes to see movies cast with people I don’t already know because I can still lose myself in the story, you know? Not like I watched the movie, and I’m like, ‘Oh, I need to call her.’ [Laughs] I’m like, ‘I don’t know who they are, and they’re amazing.’ That’s kind of how I felt when I was on set. These young guys are just incredible.”

    The Long Walk has now wrapped shooting, but no release date has yet been announced.

    Stephen King’s One Note For The Long Walk Adaptation Revealed By Producer

    Stephen only had one note from when we gave him the script. He's like, "Can you change it from 4 miles per hour to 3?" Because that's what was written in the book. He goes, "There's no way that you could walk 4 miles an hour for that long." That was the only initial note when he gave back. The ending was what it is, and he was like, "I love it. But I think you need to reduce the speed."

    At a screening slated for Saturday in Los Angeles, the normally plush seats will be replaced by treadmills, and any viewer whose pace falls below 3 miles per hour will be removed from the theater posthaste.
