Late last month writer and director Josh Boone (The
Fault In Our Stars) revealed that he had finished the script for the adaptation
of Stephen King's novel The Stand. Adapting a King novel is a feat in and of
itself, but condensing the 1000-plus-page The Stand into a single movie seemed
impossible for many fans of the novel. Well, King now says that one film might
not be enough for the story and for the director.
A two-part movie would certainly give the story more
room to breathe, but any sequel will only come if the first movie proves to be
a success.
The Stand Book Synopsis Via Amazon:
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.
