Stephen King fans familiar with his epic 1978 novel The Stand are probably also familiar with the 1994 ABC TV miniseries version of the story. The miniseries wasn't terrible (not that everyone agrees with me there.) Gary Sinise did a great job playing Stu Redman, although Molly Ringwald wasn't my first pick for Frannie Goldsmith's character. The show had a run time of 366 minutes but even that wasn't enough to capture all of the book's original 823 pages, which told the story of a pandemic that wiped out most of the population on earth. The book follows a survivors as they meet up and disband and eventually form communities on the sides of good and evil. Since January sources have reported that Warner Brothers is developing The Stand as a movie. I don't know how they're going to fit that whole story in 120 minutes but I'm willing to watch their attempt. Recently,Deadline and Entertainment Weekly reported that Warner Brothers hopes to hire Ben Affleck to direct the movie. Affleck, besides acting in movies including Chasing Amy and Daredevil, has directed, written and produced films too, including The Town, Gone Baby Gone and Good Will Hunting. Do you think Ben Affleck will do a good job with The Stand?
