The Fault in Our Stars director Josh Boone is currently in the process of developing his big screen adaptation of Stephen King‘s epic novel The Stand. This is such a huge story that it’s hard to believe that they’d be able to turn into a single movie. There was talk of turning it into a pair of films at one point, but it doesn’t look like that’s the case any longer. In a recent interview with Vulture, the director revealed that the plan is to make one 3-hour, R-rated movie with a full A-list cast. He also excitedly talked about how much he’s looking forward to making this film.
“We’re gonna do one three-hour, R-rated version with an amazing A-list cast across the board. Every single one of those characters will be somebody you recognize and somebody you relate to. And it’s gonna be awesome. I’m really excited. It’s the most exciting thing I’ve ever got to do in my entire life. If 12-year-old me had ever known that one day I’d be doing this, to even just go back and look at that kid, I’d be like, ‘Keep doing what you’re doing!’ It’s just crazy. I’ve met so many actors over the years, and like, when I met Stephen King, I hugged him with tears in my eyes. He meant that much to me when I was young. I still say everything I learned about writing I learned from Stephen King. I don’t read screenplays. I don’t read screenplay how-to books. It’s always just, establish the character. Establish the character.”
What do u think of this? I liked the tv movie curious to see how this is going to play out!
