I saw The Long Walk last weekend and my immediate thought was how much this could be an inevitable successor to The Outsiders. The film has everything: a mostly young male cast, rain, gravel, roads, Mark Hamill, and more rain. I’m sure They could work out some fun staging magic with a turntable or turntables within a turntable(think Groundhog Day). Also, fun little cameo from Broadways Josh Hamilton!
