Kevin Smith and Stephen King... an amazing combo?

I would love to see Kevin Smith direct a movie based on Stephen King's story "The Long Walk".

There's a description of the story from Wikipedia if you're not familiar.

It's a dialogue-heavy book, and considering Smith's first big film "Clerks" was also dialogue-heavy... I thought he'd be a great person to do it. Also, I feel like Smith would 'get' the characters.

It's a great story, and I think it could translate well to a movie, if handled well. It gets into some deep philosophical territory, but also deals with the mundane... also something I think Smith would be great at.
