'THE STAND' SF SERIES
 |
| James Marsden will lead the cast |
He really did survive a betrayal from his beloved one in the second season of Westworld, but it does not mean James Marsden won't make a stand or THE STAND! Yep, he will lead new TV series adaptation of Stephen King's famous novel over at CBS All Access! Apparently Amber Heard, Greg Kinnear and Whoopi Goldberg are also in the run.
He will lead the nine episode adaptation of the post apocalyptic
novel which depicts the total breakdown of society after the accidental
release of a strain of influenza that had been modified for biological
warfare and causes an apocalyptic pandemic which kills off the majority
of the world’s human population.
As Deadline reports, he will be Stu Redman, a man who is immune to the virus. He found patient zero in the original quarantine zone but never got sick so the government was precious with him in order to try to find a vaccine from his blood.

A mixture of fantasy and horror is more photogenic on the screen, and sells better than the book. So, naturally, adaptation follows..
ReplyDeleteIf well- acted and directed, the adaptation could bring pleasure to the viewers and the right profit to the producers.
The only problem is that fans of King think CBS is the worst network to adapt this book because they already did a lot of bad adaptations of his work.
DeleteLet's see how bad they screw up this story. You know I am not a fan of how Stephen King lets networks interpret his works and gives them creative control to do as they please when filming. However, James Marsden is easy on the eyes, so we *might* be able to overlook some nasty changes on this round.
ReplyDeleteHe was really nice in Westworld, his character is probably the only nice person in it.
