Dear New Line Cinema,

The Stephen King novel, The Long Walk, has been my research project for the past year.

I have read it twenty five times, sharing my knowledge on my web site and YouTube Channel, dedicated solely to The Long Walk.

I am offering my knowledge and expertise to help improve or promote the movie.

Ways I can help:

  1. Give my feedback on the screen-play
  2. Give my feedback on early cuts of the movie
  3. Help with the web site (I'm a web-developer)
  4. Create a mobile App to simulate The Long Walk to gamify exercise (I'm a software developer)
  5. Promote the movie by walking the 440-mile route while making daily vlogs
  6. Help organize an actual long walk for charity with 100 people (picked randomly from lottery) of the 440-mile route
  7. Help organize a 24-hour long walk for charity (which could leverage the app)
  8. Help organize long walks between cities in the book, like Limestone to Caribou, or Lewiston to Freeport

Other ideas to promote the movie:

  1. Toys and action figures like Funko POP! figures of the major characters
  2. Chess board: Soldiers pawns, Garraty King, Jan Queen, Stebbins Rook, McVries Bishop, Barkovitch Knight
  3. Social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, YouTube
  4. Have the actors do a fun-walk of 10 miles
  5. New cover featuring actors
  6. The Long Walk comic
  7. The Long Walk TV series. 3 seasons for past, present and future
  8. Hard-cover printing

Here are the results of my research:

  1. Defined the timeline for the book
  2. Calculated the exact route based on the timeline
  3. Road tripped the route
  4. Defined the rules in great details
  5. Reviewed every long-walk YouTube video (in English)
  6. Designed a cardio-workout based on the long walk rules
  7. Updated Wikipedia and the Stephen King Wiki
  8. Write my own fan-fiction, like The Long Walk in the year 2020
  9. Hired an artist to create the most accurate fan-art
  10. and so much more!

I hope to hear from you!
