If you search online you might be able to find a version that isn't region-blocked.

Can't say the teaser did much for me but I remain hopeful.

....at least it didn't look like a dumpster fire in the making....

Lou_Sytsma

You say true.

....my biggest fear?.....Trashcan Man isn't portrayed as the sympathetic character he truly is.....(yeah, he and Tom are two of my favorites).......

The Stand Gets New Preview Images

...we're getting another new look at the upcoming 9-episode limited series. What follows are some fresh takes on our heroes and potential "big bads" as the survivors look to shape the new world into a new society- one that Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgard) would prefer bows to him.

The truth about how Marilyn Manson was almost cast in The Stand

We were talking to [Manson] early on about playing The Kid, who drives Trashcan Man to Vegas," Cavell told EW. "We thought we were going to be able to restore the character of The Kid, but there really isn't a lot of reason for The Kid to exist."

The Kid is a relatively ancillary role if an interesting one, bestowed with some colorful scenes and dialogue by King's latter-day restoration of his work. He has a fair amount to do in King's "director's cut" of The Stand, which includes several scenes and expanded material that didn't make it into the original edit. The Kid does not appear in previous adaptations, and Cavell must have ultimately acceded to the reality that the character just doesn't suit a lean telling of the story — hence his original exclusion from the book and reintroduction years later.

...plus, it would make some folks more than a bit squeamish....though I would enjoy seeing MM as wolf fodder....

"Just to clarify, Marilyn Manson and I had long-discussed him taking on the role of The Kid in The Stand," Josh Boone, who directed the premiere and finale, wrote in an email. "He and the great Shooter Jennings even recorded a killer cover of The Doors song, 'The End,' that ultimately proved too expensive to use. The show was made on a very tight budget and some of the dreams we had went to the wayside. The Kid was another casualty. When Manson wasn't able to make it work schedule-wise, the storyline was ultimately excised and never shot, which is for the best, as no one could have slayed that role like Manson would have. Hope to work with him in the future."
