Jeremiah Fraites, co-founder and songwriter of the two-time Grammy Award-nominated band The Lumineers, has composed the score for the upcoming Lionsgate’s film, The Long Walk. The film is an adaptation of the first-written novel by Stephen King.
The Long Walk is directed by Francis Lawrence, who worked with Fraites prior, when The Lumineers composed a song for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack.
“We met years ago when the band the Lumineers did a song for the Catching Fire soundtrack—Jeremiah and I had remained friends after that, and stayed in contact. He’d send me vinyl versions of his solo albums and it was exactly that work that made me think he’d be perfect for The Long Walk.”
“I’m forever grateful to Roy Lee and Francis for the opportunity to write my first feature film score,” added Fraites. “It was the thrill of a lifetime to score this film. Having been a fan of Francis’ work already for years, it was definitely a pinch-me moment to realize I was now getting the opportunity to write music over the incredible picture I was being sent.”
The Long Walk features a star-studded cast stars that includes Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Roman Griffin Davis, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick, Josh Hamilton, with Judy Greer, and Mark Hamill.
The film is set to release in Theaters on September 12, 2025.
