The Long Walk Movie Adaptation To Be Directed By Francis Lawrence

The Long Walk movie adaptation has found its director; Francis Lawrence is in final talks to direct the upcoming film.

Francis Lawrence

Lionsgate has acquired the rights to the film, with J.T. Mollner set to write the script. Lawrence is best known for his directorial work on The Hunger Games franchise, with Francis having directed The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, both Mockingjay films, as well as the recently released The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.

Stephen King, 1979

Originally released in 1979, The Long Walk is the first novel that Stephen King ever wrote under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. It’s a dystopian horror book that tells the story of a future America ruled by a totalitarian regime and a walking contest known as the Long Walk, which tasks boys walking above four miles per hour without rest. The last boy standing gets whatever he wants for the rest of his life. Despite the high stakes, the boys form an unlikely camaraderie along their journey.

Adaptations for the film have been attempted at various points throughout the past 40 years. In the late 1980s, George A. Romero was approached to direct a film based on the book, but it never happened. In 2007, Frank Darabont acquired the rights to make a movie, but that also never transpired.

McDonald’s Brings Back the McNugget Buddies With Kerwin Frost Collaboration

No matter how long it’s been, McDonald’s fans never forget the feeling of opening a Happy Meal box to see the surprises inside. Last year, the fast food chain gave fans the chance to relive that excitement as adults with the Cactus Plant Flea Market Box. Now, McDonald’s once again is sparking nostalgic joy with the help of a visionary artist and some very special Buddies.

Step Into Frost Way with The Kerwin Frost Box at McDonald’s

Introducing: the Kerwin Frost Box – a one-of-a-kind global collaboration with artist and lifelong McDonald’s fan, Kerwin Frost – launching on December 11.

The Kerwin Frost Box includes the choice of 10-piece Chicken McNuggets or a Big Mac, World Famous Fries, a soft drink and a special McNugget Buddy collectible – coming back IRL for the first time in over 25 years. But this time, designed in partnership with Kerwin Frost.

Growing up in Harlem, New York, Kerwin found his McNugget Buddy collection to be a source of creative inspiration. So, it was only right for McDonald’s to bring back the Buddies, and through them, introduce fans to “Frost Way” – where everyone is welcome to be exactly who they are. Complete with mix-and-match outfits, the Buddies’ designs are inspired by Kerwin’s childhood experiences and belief that everyone should feel free to express themselves. 

Meet the Buddies!

Kerwin Frost 

The Mayor of Frost Way is a true champion of the Buddies and encourages them to be themselves. In his free time, catch him adding art to his collection or fixing things around the neighborhood.

Don Bernice

The Wise Stylist, an experienced fashion designer who creates all the outfits for the Buddies in Frost Way, while also offering stern advice (that’s always nice!). After all, she is “don” – the very best!

Uptown Moe

The Neighborhood Hero, the no-nonsense, street-smart, supportive guy from around the block in Frost Way everyone knows and loves. He also gives the best motivational speeches on a whim.

Waffutu

The Curious Optimist, who grew up in Frost Way and was raised by the whole neighborhood. She spreads positivity wherever she goes and can turn any frown upside down with the wave of a wand and tilt of a crown.

BRRRICK

The Cool Guy, the most adventurous Buddy in Frost Way who speaks in puns, loves trying new things and techno music. He’s low-key nervous, but always cool under pressure.

Darla

The Dreamer, a soft-spoken yet peacefully confident singer who moved to Frost Way to pursue her dream of becoming a superstar as the lead singer of “The Frostettos.” When she’s not on stage, she’s running the local McDonald’s in Frost Way – where she’s employee of the month every month!

The McNugget Buddies were first introduced in 1988 as part of a limited time Happy Meal featuring ten different McNugget Buddy collectibles. They’re best known for their wacky adventures and personalities, wild imaginations and interchangeable outfits.

“I’ve loved McDonald’s since I was a kid. I even had my own Ronald McDonald doll that I brought to picture day at school, and it was my dream to collect all the McNugget Buddies,” said Kerwin Frost. “Now, coming up with my own special set of Buddies – each one representing different aspects of self-expression – it’s unreal, a dream come true. McDonald’s has been a great partner from day one, and they’ve truly allowed me to create without limits. I hope the Kerwin Frost Box will serve as a reminder for people to hone their creativity and not be afraid to show the world who they really are.”

Fans will also be able to express their style with custom McDonald’s x Kerwin Frost merchandise including a variety of items featuring the McNugget Buddy collection, as well as iconic vintage pieces from Kerwin’s own archive. In addition, McDonald’s x Kerwin Frost are releasing a first-of-its-kind new footwear silhouette with the Fry Guy shoes (as seen on the Kerwin Frost McNugget Buddy). Explore the limited-edition collection on kerwinfrost.com – available beginning Dec. 11, while supplies last.
