The 4 telemovies were great. Let's see how this fares..

http://deadline.com/2014/11/the-stand-stephen-king-josh-boone-four-films-1201291709/

Quote:
Boone told Kevin Smith in his Babble-On podcast (I heard it on Aint It Cool News) that after he boiled down the tale to a single script for a three-hour movie, Warner Bros actually suggested to him a more ambitious plan for what he calls “The Godfather of post-apocalyptic thrillers.” Said Boone: “They asked, would you do this as multiple films. I said f*ck yes. I think we’re going to do four movies. Do The Stand at the highest level you can do it at, with a cast that’s going to blow peoples’ minds. Production in the spring.” Boone said he’s writing that first installment, based on the script he has happily scrapped.


Edit: He is the director of the critically acclaimed "The Fault in Our Stars". (Haven't seen it.)

I.... don't know how I feel about this just yet. The original mini-series was as close to perfection as you can get. Turning it into some blockbuster movie makes me worry. Still, I'll wait and see Smile

Yeah these are old rumors that Boone denied back in August.

I have always wanted McConaughey as Stu and Bale as Flagg. Still not sure how that story leaked - just not true.


Considering the Guardian does not post their source or claim it's something an insider told them, I'd say they are merely reposting that old (and allegedly false) rumor. We'll see. Smile

The Stand 1994 was a classic. But it was horrible if you base it soley on the source material. Then again it doesn't really matter much as long as the characters/red line remains the same.

Loved Randal Flagg 94 version, will be cool to see how this one fares. Pretty sure this time around it will be much more based on kings book which is a lot diff compared to 94 version.

Latest update from June 2015: http://www.thewrap.com/stephen-kings-the-stand-poised-to-add-tv-miniseries-at-showtime-exclusive/

Josh Boone now plans to first develop The Stand as an 8-part miniseries for Showtime before he makes any movies hence the updated thread title.

Quote:
Before it hits a movie theater near you, Stephen King‘s epic postapocalyptic novel “The Stand” will take a revolutionary detour to the small screen, as Warner Bros. and CBS Films are in talks with Showtime to mount an eight-part miniseries that will culminate in a big-budget feature film, multiple individuals familiar with the ambitious project have told TheWrap.

Josh Boone, the “Fault In Our Stars” director who boarded “The Stand” in February 2014, will write and direct the star-studded miniseries, which is expected to start shooting early next year as one cohesive production, according to insiders.

A miniseries will allow Boone to cover more of King’s epic book than one three-hour movie.

King is expected to be involved in some capacity along with producers Roy Lee and Jimmy Miller, and high-level meetings among the filmmaking team are taking place next week to finalize the ambitious multi-platform plan. Top talent agents have already been notified, as Boone is expected to set his sights on several A-listers, many of whom have become more interested in doing limited TV in the wake of HBO’s “True Detective.”


Unfortunately since June there have been no news on whether the project has been given the green light.

Stephen King will write the 9th and final episode.

The ending of the series will take place after the book's ending, so King will offer a continuation to it and a look at what happened to the characters beyond his book.

Quote:
The prolific horror author had lamented in interviews that he wasn’t quite happy with the ending of the book, so he likely sparked to the idea of writing a new one.

I hear the new material will pick up right after the events in the novel. The script is still being written but I hear the followup will be a substantial part of the final episode, not a brief epilogue at the end.

Shooting starts 16th of September. From what I've seen there will be 10 episodes, the ending will be rewritten and King will write a Coda (as written before, an episode taking place after the rewritten ending which I presume will be ep.9).

Pity I forgot about the new restored bluray. I finished watching the old version a couple of weeks ago (which was heavily cut in order to fit onto two VHS cassettes). Never seen the full thing since it hasn't been available since it was released for television.

EDIT: Nope, seems it's missing 1 hour of footage compared to the original tv version. Meh (they cut out entire subplots).

It will look nice though (right-click and select view image to see the it in it's original size. pity it's jpg-compressed).

You got a lot wrong.

There are 2 DVD versions, the censored is a bit trimmed as it was made for VHS, but the uncensored DVD version (with scenes never shown on TV) has been out since 1999/2000.

The bluray is going to be the original, TV, cut. The difference in content is like 1 minute or something.

Hmmm, I've always wondered where the FULL version was since there's a MAJOR gap right in the middle when you swap from dvd1 to dvd2 (dvd2 suddenly starts with Stu attempting to perform an appendectomy on some unknown person, completely disconnected to the end of disc 1). Perhaps that's how the tv series was as well. I've been looking every now and then for a ~6 hour version since back in the mid-90'ies but perhaps there never was one and what I thought was a missing 45-60 minutes were perhaps never there to begin with except on the VHS version which I never had anyway. Maybe I've only been watching early transfers from VHS to DVD all these years. Laughing

This guy mentions it @ 7:35+ :


IMDB says 6 hours 1 minute. Perhaps that's where my confusion started. Oh well, here's to 2020 to see if the new version is worthwhile.

Speaking of which, Salem's Lot is being brought back from the dead again and the same goes for The Tommyknockers. Nothing official enough to make threads for as of yet.
