Warner Bros prepping multi-film adaptation of King's The Stand
To be brought to you by the Harry Potter team of Steve Kloves and David Yates. So says Drew McWeeny of hitfix
Quote:
Warner Bros. is in the process of finalizing the deals for David Yates and Steve Kloves to re-team for a multi-movie version of Stephen King's epic "The Stand."

Word is that the deals are now coming together quickly, and that this is a priority project for the studio and for Vertigo Pictures, which will produce.
Interesting.

Hope they include the Jim Morrison scene in the movie. And The Kid. You believe that happy crappy?

I hope Shia Lebouf is the guy that goes "M.O.O.N. that spells moon" throughout the whole film.

Looks like Warner has tapped Ben Affleck to direct. Interesting choice.....Hes a solid director. Loved Gone Baby Gone and The Town.


BTW, i watched part of the TV miniseries from 1994 the other day. Awful and cheesy.....hasnt aged well at all.

Warner Bros has chosen Ben Affleck to adapt and direct The Stand, Stephen King’s apocalyptic mammoth book. Affleck has become a cornerstone director for the studio, but this would be his greatest challenge yet. Even King has been reticent about the idea of making a feature of his book, which previously was turned into a miniseries. With The Town and Gone Baby Gone, Affleck has shown the grit necessary to handle such an unforgettable tale. It’s early days, but the studio loves Affleck, who’s now directing Argo.

Loved the book, hated the miniseries. Hopefully this is good. Somehow, I haven't seen either of Affleck's flicks yet (although The Town is waiting patiently on the DVR), so would this be his first shot at a fantasy based story?

I'd like King to have a version that he's happy with, and that is, you know, good.

Seeing that I read the book first I like the mini-series BECAUSE it was King's vision.I also like Kubrick's very much and long ago decided that each movie stood on its own and I would enjoy both for what they were.

Now if someone would just make Salem's Lot like King wrote it it'd be great because the others sucked(no pun intended).
