Mother Abigail is a DEVOUT Christian and likely based on Sojourner Truth.

Whoopie Goldberg? That would be horrendous casting and insulting to the entire mythology of the book.

Needful Things was a very fine book about Lucifer using Christian intolerance between Roman Catholics and Baptists to start a religious war and annihilate each other. The film was weak when there was a lot of meat to the supernatural horror book.

I would like to see a remake of that.

Re: The Stand gets a remake the same year of COVID-19?
Read the whole book instead which was reissued in 1990 and 1152 pages. The miniseries is rather weak although Gary Sinese does a fine job and Molly Ringwald is charming as Frannie. Few actors could play a deaf-mute so well but Rob Lowe sort of pulls it off.

With "woke" Hollyweird, the remake will be a disaster.

Randall Flagg was portrayed by Jamie Sheridan. He's very creepy.

I tried watching it due to Covid-19 but it's largely unwatchable. Even Ed Harris is not at his best which is strange.

Very few Stephen King novels have translated well to the screen or television. It, the Shining, Stand By Me, the Mist, Shawshank Redemption, and Misery are the good ones, but there are very bad ones out there. Salem's Lot has never been properly done which is a shame. Tommyknockers could be great but it's science fiction tinged with humor as the townfolk end up all as humans transformed into alien inventors.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72341210


I watched the mini series recently, Gary Sinese, Rob Lowe and the guy that played Tom Cullen were all fantastic. Molly Ringwald as Frannie was miscast IMO but she was alright. Really enjoyed the series until about 2/3rds of the way in when it started to turn into a soap opera. If there is a remake I hope they do something to improve the ending. Don't expect much in terms of casting, no one can top Rob Lowe as Nick the deaf mute.

I like Stephen King based tv shows and movies, most even the bad ones are still watchable. Most book based movies these days are awful, with the exception of a few gems like bridge to Terabithia.

Re: The Stand gets a remake the same year of COVID-19?
I've known a out the reboot for about a year now. The stand is my favorite book of all time and since I was a high school freshman I have read it maybe twice a year. I know every detail in and out. I've even traveled to boulder a couple time from CT just to visit the amphitheatre on Flagstaff mt. I


The Larry Underwood being black think hurt me alot, only because Larry is who I envision myself closest like in the book. But I'm starting to have hope, love the new a for from the show The leftovers so I will wait to judge. But if it's a miss I will be heartbroken.

Re: The Stand gets a remake the same year of COVID-19?
You'd be surprised how much of our beloved science fiction novels and movies were influenced by cosmic horror writers like Howard Phillips Lovecraft, Algernon Blackwood, or Robert W. Chambers. So much so I believe there are actual hidden cults that follow the path these men had taken in order to remember that which has been forgotten. The ultimate comedy to our life's beatific tragedy. Though they wrote of unspeakable horror, there is always that glimmer of the eucatastrophe that always see's the stories protagonist survive the series of maddening events, regardless of how much they were changed from the trauma therein. Likewise, so too does the cosmic terror survive as well. Almost, a different kind of eucatastrophe in so being it's polar opposite, ensuring the darkness remains bound, beyond the realms of the mortal plane(s).

Whoopie Goldberg stars in it, also. Sounds like liberal progressive bull-shit to me. I won't be watching this one. I'm sure it will be conservatives causing the end of the world, and liberals saving it. I will be watching the original, again.

Re: The Stand gets a remake the same year of COVID-19?
It’s going to be on CBS All Access so you’ll have to buy their streaming service to watch it. I already subscribe so I’ll definitely watch. I’m a big fan of The Stand original mini series and the book. I can’t wait to see an updated version. Since it’s streaming they can be more graphic than they could with the mini series back in the day, or even today if it was remade for TV for broadcast.

Re: The Stand gets a remake the same year of COVID-19?
The Stand miniseries apocalyptic horror is offset largely by Stu and Frannie, two very different people who never would have met ordinarily, then end up as friends and fall in love. It's sweet and innocent and Hollyweird just can't fathom such normality as those extreme leftists are so perverse.

The remake will ruin the legacy.

Re: The Stand gets a remake the same year of COVID-19?
I rewatched Contagion last night and kept pausing and noting how often the guys were either total omega males versus heroic liberal women. Or how many times trained epidemiologists said stupid things just so they could spout exposition. Or how characters acted in stupid liberal ways that would end up exacerbating the infection.

Hollyweird is a plague that infects the mind and then that subversive influence then is meant to replicate self-sabotage in the sheep during an emergency.

Hollweird is so detached from reality that it inculcates reality detachement in mindless viewers.

Flagg wasn’t Satan, he was possibly possessed by a demon, but before he became the walking man he was a normal guy. At the end of the book, after he gets blown away by the a bomb he reappears in a jungle around villagers.
