Constantin Films, the production company behind the Resident Evil franchise, is adapting The Walk, based on Lee Goldberg’s best-selling 2004 novel of the same name, which centers on a studio executive as he makes a journey through a post-apocalyptic California.
 
In The Walk, described as a “part-adventure, part-horror, and part-comedy,” follows TV Network Studio Executive Marty Slack, making his way from downtown LA to the San Fernando Valley to reach his wife after an apocalyptic earthquake destroys the state. During his journey, he must reluctantly team up with an “unusual traveler” to survive, Deadline reports. Wildfires rage out of control. Floodwaters burst through collapsed dams. Natural gas explosions consume neighborhoods. Sinkholes swallow entire buildings. After-shocks rip apart the ground. Looters rampage through the streets. There’s no power. No running water. No order. Marty Slack thinks he’s prepared. He’s wrong. Nothing can prepare him for this ordeal, a quest for his family and for his soul, a journey that will test the limits of his endurance and his humanity, a trek from the man he was to the man he can be … if he can survive The Walk.
 
Constantin’s Robert Kulzer is producing The Walk. He’s quoted as saying “Lee’s adaptation of his own novel is a brilliant exploration of the human condition by using the ‘Big One’ as a backdrop to create unforgettable moments of hair-raising tragicomedy.”
