The Stand feature film

BevVincentBevVincent
in Adaptations
Filmmaker Doug Liman is attached to direct a feature film of the post-apocalyptic bestseller for Paramount Pictures, with Cross Creek Pictures’ Tyler Thompson on board to produce. The project does not yet have a script, however, so development may take some time as Liman and the studio winnow King’s novel — which runs 1,153 pages in its 1990 unabridged version — into a single movie. But the studio sees the movie as a priority and is moving forward aggressively to make it happen.

    For me seeing The Stand as a good 2-3 hour movie is very difficult. Its just too much to pack in a limited timeframe. Not just pagewise but also the many different strands in the story. A lot has to be cut and some of it in all probability essential. A miniseries or  two movies might make it but just one movie.... I must admit to being oessimistic. Not the same absolute certainty i had that the black tower would be a disaster (which i think it was). O hope they make a good movie but i'm, as said, pessimistic.....
