I liked the old TV version of Stephen King's The Stand. The casting was mostly excellent, and Mick Garris did a really good job of capturing the overall feel of King's masterpiece. The Hand of God near the end suffered from early CGI limitations, but that didn't really harm the presentation.
There's a new series based on The Stand coming next year, as I am sure everyone knows. I'm really excited about it. Josh Boone is the co-creator and one of the directors. I've enjoyed his film work, especially the film, Stuck In Love.
The new cast looks promising. James Marsden as Stu Redman is a decent choice, even if following Gary Sinise will be a challenge. Greg Kinear as Glen Bateman, Whoopie Goldberg as Mother Abigail. Rumor had it that Matthew McConaughey was to play Randall Flagg, which I think was a fantastic choice. Now it's going to be Alexander Skarsgård. Okay.
I heard that Stephen King himself has written the final episode. That's certainly interesting. I wonder how he will deal with the end?
The Stand will come out on CBS All Access. To be honest, all these ways of watching and streaming just make me dizzy.
