Try, if you can, to imagine a world controlled and destroyed by a killer flu. Now, imagine in that world a great evil walking the streets with plans to bring about the end of all things.
Welcome to the world of Stephen King’s masterful The Stand.
Originally filmed as a limited TV series in 1994, this Christmas King’s tale of good vs evil is back on CBS All Access.
And we finally have a teaser for the new take from New Mutants director Josh Boone!
And, yes, it looks great… let’s hope it does the powerful story justice – but so far it looks like it will do just that.
Although, interestingly, King has penned a new ending for the nine-part series which kicks off on December 17th.
The cast includes Alexander Skarsgård as Randall Flagg and Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abagail. Jovan Adepo, Owen Teague, Greg Kinnear, Brad William Henke, Nat Wolff, Daniel Sunjata, James Marsden, Amber Heard, Odessa Young, Eion Bailey, Katherine McNamara, Heather Graham, Marilyn Manson, Hamish Linklater and Henry Zaga also star.
The Walking Dude arrives on December 17th.
