Cooper Hoffman Reveals the Emotional Reason He Thought About His Late Dad Philip Seymour Hoffman on Set of New Movie
Cooper stars in The Long Walk with David Jonsson (Alien: Romulus), who portrays another contest participant named McVries. Judy Greer plays Cooper’s onscreen mother, who watches the contest from afar, while Mark Hamill steps into a villain role as a military-style leader known only as The Major. The story, which author King, 77, wrote as his first-ever novel at the University of Maine in the 1960s and published under the pen name Richard Bachman in 1979, is set in a dystopian United States ruled by a military dictatorship.
“Garraty believed wholeheartedly that his father was fighting for the exact right thing, and his father could do no wrong. And then, at one point, it switches,” Hoffman said of the movie, noting that his character Garraty realizes at one point, “Okay, who am I in this? Even if I started out on this journey doing it for someone else, how am I going to finish it, doing it for me?”
