I hope I posted this right, it's my first so I'm sorry if I've done it all wrong.

Already done, excellent version. Another reinvent the wheel series.

This is the second time The Stand will be adapted for television after ABC produced it as an eight-hour miniseries in 1994 with Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald and Rob Lowe starring. King wrote the teleplay and had a minor role in that series.

I remember watching it back then. I don’t remember it being all that good.

I’m glad someone else is writing the screen play.

In my opinion The Stand is the best thing King wrote. I stopped reading his stuff after ‘It’. He just got too pornographic.

Seems to me just about every Stephen King movie has an anti-Christian sub plot. Always some whacky unlikable Christian.

Stephen King is a total whack-job but I do like "The Stand."

I re-read it a few summers ago after reading it twice during my youth.

The story holds up well over time. But rarely do movies or TV shows do the book justice.

They’ll have to cut Mother Abigail’s Christian stuff out. It might offend the snowflakes.

I’d rather see a director produce “Camp of the Saints” in a 10 part series. It’s more relevant than a fictional King story, and would take big kahunas to make and fight off the sissy boys who would object. The Director would need to hire thousands of MAGA-hat patriots to kick leftist ass at the premier.

I liked Larry Underwood’s passage through the Lincoln Tunnel, and certain aspects of Nadine Cross, who I didn’t visualize as nearly as pretty as Laura San Giacomo.

I hope they do the “hand of god” a little more realistically at the end. It was so cheap and fake looking in the first film that people busted out laughing.

Why remake it? This one was good:

I never buy any of his works ... he is a profane low-life Progressive .... the only way I know his works are from YouTube videos ... hope he never gets another royalty check.

I’d rather see the Gunslinger done over a period of 6 - 8 years. It could be a smash hie except for Hollywood casting. Too bad Clint Eastwood isn’t young anymore.
