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.

“IT” was the last one i read.
I convinced myself that he was having other people writing his books.

Second best, after ‘Salem’s Lot. I bought the Lot at the AFA Cadet Book Store during my lunch break 40-some odd years ago. It was the first King book I ever purchased. Took it home, had dinner, started reading. About 10 I stopped, took a shower, went to bed. About 11 I got up, turned on all the lights in the apartment, and finished reading the book before going to work. Scariest book I ever read! LOL!
