According to The Guardian, Matthew McConaughey is up for
the role of Randall Flagg, the main antagonist in director Josh Boone's
upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's novel The Stand, which was recently
turned into a full fledge franchise of four movies.
"Stephen King’s apocalyptic vision of a world
blasted by plague and tangled in an elemental struggle between good and evil
remains as riveting and eerily plausible as when it was first published.
A patient escapes from a biological testing facility,
unknowingly carrying a deadly weapon: a mutated strain of super-flu that will
wipe out 99 percent of the world’s population within a few weeks. Those who
remain are scared, bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emerge—Mother
Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful
community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the nefarious “Dark Man,”
who delights in chaos and violence. As the dark man and the peaceful woman
gather power, the survivors will have to choose between them—and ultimately
decide the fate of all humanity."
