Stephen King's only condition for The Long Walk movie adaptation was that the audience had to watch teenagers getting shot, as he thinks it's "wrong" that so many films show violence without consequence.
"If you look at these superhero movies, you’ll see… some supervillain who’s destroying whole city blocks, but you never see any blood," King said in a new interview with The Times. "And man, that’s wrong. It’s almost, like, pornographic.'
Of the latest big-screen adaptation of his work, he added, "I said, if you’re not going to show it, don’t bother. And so they made a pretty brutal movie." Indeed, our own The Long Walk review says the movie is "not for the faint of heart."
