Analysis
In an interview with Rue Morgue about the production of The Long Walkwhich he is no longer involved in, Øvredal noted: "I did a short film called The Tunnel that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival three years ago, and it's a very similar story. When I read the script, which is so close to the book—it really honors what Glasser wrote in a beautiful way—I felt like I had told the story, but in a different way, which connected to the idea of being on a journey you cannot stop. It's an unstoppable journey, and the only way out is death, really."[5]
