We assume that Pennywise the Dancing Clown is going to show up on the HBO Max series Welcome to Derry, which will serve as a prequel to Warner Bros’ two-part adaptation of the classic Stephen King novel It (pick up a copy Here), at some point. We’re just not sure who would be playing Pennywise, as just a week ago Bill Skarsgard, who played the evil clown in those two movies, said he isn’t involved with the show. As we wait to hear the Pennywise details, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed the names of four actors who will be seen in the show: they are Taylour Paige (Zola), Jovan Adepo (Watchmen), Chris Chalk (Perry Mason), and James Remar (Dexter).
Details on the roles Paige, Adepo, Chalk, and Remar will be playing are being kept under wraps. So for all we know, Pennywise could be lurking in their midst.

This article contains spoilers for the last two episodes of The Stand.
After nine episodes, the CBS All Access limited series adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand has come to an end with a final segment written by none other than King himself.
But before we get to that, let’s recap the massive climactic events of last week’s episode eight, which was not titled “The Stand” for nothing.
After setting out on their long walk to New Vegas at the behest of a dying Mother Abagail (Whoopi Goldberg), the little party of Boulder Free Zone leaders finally arrived in Sin City to make their long-awaited stand against Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgard) and his minions — minus one.
Stu Redman (James Marsden) has broken his leg in a fall and stayed behind at the bottom of a washout — almost certain to die there — while Larry Underwood (Jovan Adepo), Glen...

This article contains spoilers for the sixth episode of The Stand.
In episode 6 of the CBS All Access limited series The Stand, “The Vigil,” several critical things happen: Mother Abigail (Whoopi Goldberg), out on her spiritual quest in the wilderness to communicate with God, has an unexpected confrontation with Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgard) instead before she retreats, physically depleted, to the Boulder Free Zone.
Her return, however, coincides with Harold Lauder (Owen Teague) and Nadine Cross (Amber Heard) successfully pulling off their plan to stage a terrorist attack in the Free Zone, detonating a bomb in Abigail’s house that results in the death of Boulder leader and Abigail’s “voice,” the deaf, mute and partially blind Nick Andros (Henry Zaga).
In the previous week’s episode, “Fear and Loathing in New Vegas,” Frannie Goldsmith (Odessa Young) sent Larry Underwood (Jovan Adepo) to break into Harold’s house and see what he could learn,...

It is fair to say that the new version of The Stand still has the shadow of the original mini-series to escape from. This week we get introduced to some of the other characters fans will have been waiting for, but as we get used to the new structure, how well does it stand up that expectations?
In this episode we are introduced to the flashbacks of Larry Underwood (Jovan Adepo) and Lloyd Henried (Nat Wolff). Along with these characters we are also introduced to the more mysterious Nadine Cross (Amber Heard) who fans of The Stand will know, and understand why she is so mysterious.
What I noticed about this episode of The Stand was the slowdown is starting to set in. The first episode had a lot of things to introduce to the story,...

This article contains spoilers for episode 3 of The Stand.
After spending much of episodes 1 and 2 with important characters such as Stu Redman (James Marsden), Frannie Goldsmith (Odessa Young), Harold Lauder (Owen Teague) and Larry Underwood (Jovan Adepo), the new miniseries version of Stephen King’s The Stand brings in or fills out the backgrounds of several more key personnel in episode 3, titled “Blank Pages.”
This episode of the nine-part CBS All Access limited series introduces the characters of Nick Andros (Brazilian actor Henry Zaga from The New Mutants), Ray Brentner (Irene Bedard) and Tom Cullen (Brad William Henke), all of whom play a major role in King’s tale — and all of whom have received a fairly significant overhaul for the new adaptation.
In King’s book and the 1994 miniseries, Ray is Ralph Brentner, a physically imposing yet good-natured 45-year-old farmer from Oklahoma and a key leader of the Boulder Free Zone.

To say that The Stand has been universally loved on CBS All Access would be a false statement, to be honest, but one thing that fans should recognize is that this version is following the book a little closer than the original miniseries did back in 1994. Just to start with, Larry Underwood was kind of a miserable individual when Captain Trips hit in force and was a less than savory character. The idea that he was a plagiarist, possibly, was fun to see as well, and the nod to the original miniseries when his mother asked him to bring

This article contains spoilers for episode 2 of The Stand.
In episode 2 of the new CBS All Access adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand, “Pocket Savior,” we are introduced to Larry Underwood (Jovan Adepo), a musician and drug addict who’s on the cusp of success when the Captain Trips superflu circles the globe and lays waste to 99% of the population.
We also meet Lloyd Henreid (Nat Wolff), a convicted murderer who does everything possible to stay alive behind bars until, alone, starving and losing his mind, he comes suddenly face to face with the Dark Man, Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgard), who makes an offer that Lloyd can’t refuse.
Like the series premiere, “The End,” in which we met fellow major characters Stu Redman (James Marsden), Frannie Goldsmith (Odessa Young), Harold Lauder (Owen Teague) and Mother Abigail (Whoopi Goldberg), “Pocket Savior” doesn’t tell the story of Larry or the others in linear fashion.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the second episode of “The Stand,” streaming now on CBS All Access.
Jovan Adepo has developed a niche portraying iconic characters on the small screen. He starred as the adult-age Antron McCray in Netflix’s fact-based “When They See Us” in 2019, and brought Lionel Jefferson back to life that same year for “Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear’s ‘All in the Family’ and ‘The Jeffersons.'” Earlier this year he earned his first Emmy nomination for depicting the harrowing backstory of Will Reeves (aka Hooded Justice) in HBO’s “Watchmen.” And now he has taken on the role of musician Larry Underwood in CBS All Access’ adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Stand.”

Well, two episodes of The Stand tell me that this is not a production for the ages. It's not delivering on the feelings evoked from the written word, and that's a problem.
That doesn't mean that we should count it out, though. After all, it's 2020, and entertainment value counts for a lot.
The Stand Season 1 Episode 2 takes on new characters, and the pattern of moving through the timeline is again on the menu.
If The Stand Season 1 Episode 1 was sometimes hard to follow between the past, present, and the dreamscapes, it was even more difficult this time around.
Larry Underwood is a cool dude, but he appears to focus on a particular type of woman, at least as far as they look.
We met Nadine Cross before Rita Blakemoor, and Amber Heard and Heather Graham look enough alike (especially in low light) that when Rita first appeared, I thought it was Nadine.

Was anyone worried about how The Stand was going to be presented on CBS All Access? I’ll admit I was before watching the first episode this past Thursday, but so far it’s been a pleasing look into a story that was going to require a few updates and has already seen a few changes that have been rather interesting. Anyone calling for more diversity at this point needs to sit back and just watch for a while since if anyone has been watching the trailers they’ll see that Larry Underwood is going to be a black man, and the guy

As someone whose favorite work from Stephen King is The Stand, to say that I’ve been excited about CBS All Access’ new series based on the epic book would be a huge understatement. What’s interesting to me is that, while this is a story that’s inherently about good versus evil, it’s always been more than that to me. Personally, I feel like what has always made The Stand so riveting every time I revisit it is that it’s a story about the commonality of the human existence, and how stripping us down to the point where all that’s left is just our humanity is an act that can bring out the best—and in some instances, the worst—in all of us. I’m not someone who would consider themselves a religious person, and despite the fact that the world can be an ugly place,...

This article contains spoilers for the 1994 miniseries The Stand and likely the 2020 series by extension.
The Stand is considered by many, to this day, to be one of Stephen King’s three or four finest novels. It is certainly among his most beloved by longtime readers, because of its sheer size and the scope and breadth of its storytelling. A hybrid of horror, apocalyptic sci-fi and epic fantasy (King has said he explicitly wanted to create a sort of modern day The Lord of the Rings), it’s an eerie, surreal tale of the fall of civilization and the battle for the souls of those left alive in the aftermath.
A motion picture adaptation was first announced on the back cover of the paperback version of the book (with George A. Romero directing), but to many, a miniseries seemed like the only way to adapt The Stand due to its sheer size.

The creative team behind CBS All Access’ adaptation of The Stand knows you might be wary of watching a show centered on a deadly virus. The miniseries’ premiere, after all, drops familiar words like “quarantine” and “tested positive,” and there’s a whole lotta coughing — all of which we’ve seen and heard quite often during the real-life coronavirus pandemic.
But for those unfamiliar with the Stephen King novel on which The Stand is based, executive producers Benjamin Cavell and Taylor Elmore can assure you the show is more than just an eerie mirror of our current world. In fact,...

Stephen King has long had his issues with ending his books, which is the downside of writing without outlines and letting the story travel wherever makes sense in the moment. Beginnings, though? Few writers have ever been stronger at them, and few King novels begin better than his 1978 post-apocalyptic opus The Stand.
The novel opens with a soldier escaping a top-secret military facility as a plague has been unleashed that kills everyone around him. He grabs his wife and daughter, and takes off into the night, unwittingly spreading this superflu...

In terms of post-apocalyptic shows about a viral communicable disease causing the end of the world, CBS All Access’ “The Stand” falls somewhere between Amazon’s “Utopia” and AMC’s still-kicking “The Walking Dead” franchise. Classier than the former, which gleefully used violence as a narrative shortcut, but somehow more glacially paced than the latter, “The Stand” arrives at a coincidental time given how we live now. But this adaptation of one of Stephen King’s most dense, sprawling works never quite reaches the epic scope illustrated so clearly in the 1978 novel.
Instead, showriunner Benjamin Cavell have applied a strangely sanitized sheen to the central threat of elemental evil, resulting in a miniseries that feels simultaneously over-detailed and underdeveloped. That conflicted quality makes the danger faced by the community serving as humanity’s last stand curiously subdued, and “The Stand” struggles to distinguish itself outside of its exceptional casting choices.

Just to be clear, ‘what we know’ could be different for each person since some folks have read the book, which was a pretty long but impressive tale, while others might have watched the previous miniseries back in 1994 with Gary Sinise and Molly Ringwald. For the sake of it, I’ll be tackling both since the version in 94 did deviate from the book a few times, and it does look as though this current version coming in December has already done the same since Larry Underwood wasn’t a Poc in the book or the initial miniseries.

A limited series about a deadly virus that decimates the majority of the population may not seem like purely escapist entertainment during a year when a very real pandemic ravaged the globe, forcing production and other businesses to shut down and pushing events, such as Mipcom, online only.
Yet, it is the very combination of timely premise, immersive world and rich characters that make Benjamin Cavell’s nine-part adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Stand” wholly relevant.
“What better moment for a show that imagines that civilization torn down to the studs, forcing our characters to confront questions about the very foundations of government, what society owes the individual and vice versa, what we all as humans owe to one another [and] what we’re willing to sacrifice in terms of personal liberty in order to feel safe and protected?” says Cavell.

“The Stand,” the upcoming limited series adaptation of one of horror author Stephen King’s most celebrated novels, premieres on CBS All Access on December 17. ViacomCBS released a trailer for the 9-episode project on Friday.
Per ViacomCBS, “The Stand” is King’s apocalyptic vision of a world decimated by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil. The fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail (Whoopi Goldberg) and a handful of survivors. Their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgård), the Dark Man.
Goldberg and Skarsgård will star alongside James Marsden as Stu Redman, Odessa Young as Frannie Goldsmith, Jovan Adepo as Larry Underwood, Amber Heard as Nadine Cross, Owen Teague as Harold Lauder, Henry Zaga as Nick Andros, Brad William Henke as Tom Cullen, Irene Bedard as Ray Bretner,...

We’re just over two months away from the Dec.17 premiere of The Stand miniseries on CBS All Access, and a full-length trailer has surfaced at last following a brief teaser last month.
The trailer dropped this morning at the end of a 30-minute digital Nycc panel. The Josh Boone-helmed, nine-part series looks — from the scenes we saw — pretty damn faithful to Stephen King’s epic novel, which was originally published in 1978 and filmed once before as a four-part ABC miniseries back in 1994. Take a look:
The book begins with the escape of a biological weapon — a virulent form of plague — from a government lab and its destructive path across the United States and the world. With most of humanity wiped out, two distinct sides form in what’s left of the US: a group of righteous, basically decent folks who gather in Boulder, Colorado around a mystical old...

We can't have in-person Comic Cons, but we can still have nice things.
And on December 17, we'll get to see why Randall Flagg was such a good manipulator.
Ok. I'm going to say it. A hot Randall Flagg makes a lot of sense.
When reading the book, I always imagined Flagg as hideous and scarred. I can't remember the true description, but that was my takeaway.
But it makes a lot more sense for the evil bastard to be the personification of Alexander Skarsgård because it would be easier for a good looking man, no matter how evil, to get attention before revealing his true colors to his followers.

What does life after a weaponized virus decimates the majority of the population look like for the two factions of survivors attempting to go on, amid being on warring sides of good and evil? CBS All Access offers a glimpse in a new trailer for its upcoming nine-episode limited series adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Stand,” released Friday at New York Comic Con.
“The world is now a blank page, make your stand,” Whoopi Goldberg’s Mother Abagail says in the new trailer, which you can watch above.
Some roads are empty, while others are littered with abandoned cars, and one very important one leads to the Boulder Free Zone, where those who Mother Abagail called to came running to rebuild society. “All I know is we dreamed of her and she was real,” James Marsden’s Stu Redman says.

Their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgård), the Dark Man.

Things are staying mostly the same for The Stand miniseries coming to CBS All Access, but there are bound to be some changes since one of the main characters it would appear, Larry Underwood, will be played by Jovan Adepo, meaning that we’ll be seeing another swap since in the book Larry was white, but Jovan is obviously a black man. That’s going to be an interesting switch considering how Stephen King wrote Larry in but considering that Jovan is already a proven actor and someone that knows how to fill a role, it could be a wise choice.

CBS All Access has released the first teaser for its upcoming adaptation of “The Stand.”
The short teaser, clocking in at just 30 seconds, aired during Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards. It briefly shows Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abagail, introducing herself to Frannie Goldsmith (Odessa Young) in a cornfield and beckoning her, “you come see me at Hemingfoot Home.” From there, it goes on to display eerie deserted streets, distressing hospital moments and even a little bit of levitation.
“The Stand” is based on Stephen King’s 1978 novel of the same name and follows a battle between good and evil among the survivors of a plague. The main characters in the apocalyptic story are primarily split into two camps: those who follow the 108-year-old Mother Abagail, and those who align with Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.

Initially released in 1978 (followed by that mammoth uncut edition in 1990), Stephen King's The Stand is as timely now as it was over 40 years ago, and this holiday season Captain Trips will be unleashed once again when a new limited series adaptation of The Stand premieres on CBS All Access on Thursday, December 17th.
Following its premiere on the streaming service, CBS All Access will release a new episode of The Stand limited series every Thursday for the duration of its nine-episode run. As previously announced, the new series will feature a new final coda written by Stephen King that is different than the conclusion of the book.

Rising Australian actress Odessa Young can be seen this Friday (June 5) in Shirley, as the pregnant wife of a young professor (Logan Lerman) whose lives cross paths with those of esteemed The Haunting of Hill House novelist Shirley Jackson (Elisabeth Moss) and her husband Stanley Hyman (Michael Stuhlbarg). While the film is fictional and Young’s character did not exist in real life, there is an interesting connection between Young’s role in Shirley and the ambitious production we’ll see her in later this year.
Young is also set to appear in The Stand, director Josh Boone’s nine-episode adaptation of the classic Stephen King novel for CBS All Access. The actress will play Fran Goldsmith, a pregnant 21-year-old woman who suddenly finds herself as one of the leaders of a new society that rises from the ashes of America following an apocalyptic worldwide pandemic.

When CBS All Access announced that they were producing a fresh adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand for 2020, it didn’t raise too many eyebrows. A big-budget TV miniseries based on a classic King story makes perfect sense after the wild successes of the It movies and other recent adaptations. But now, in the wake of everything that’s happened so far this year, a story about a killer flu ravaging the world and changing society beyond recognition is suddenly disturbingly relevant.
So relevant that you have to imagine that CBS is worried that viewers may be a bit tired of hearing about ‘killer viruses’ and watching civilization fall apart by now. Whatever the case, The Stand is certain to be the show everyone is talking about later this year and now, courtesy of Vanity Fair, we have our first look at it.

It’s no accident that Stephen King is one of the most heavily-adapted writers in horror movie history. From horror gross-outs and intense psychological thrillers to far-out sci-fi romps and ambitious horror epics like It Chapter One and Chapter Two, there’s a King movie or TV show for everyone.
It certainly helps that King is also one of the most prolific and successful writers working today. Since 1974, with the publication of Carrie, his debut novel about a troubled girl with telekinetic powers, King has been raising the bar of weird fiction. He certainly has some of the best human villains and supernatural villains of all-time.
Perhaps it’s his B-movie sensitivity that really makes his ghoulies shine, but its really about how the prose flows in his novels and countless short stories — they aren’t your normal fast-paced reads for the most part. King takes his time building tension and suspense.

Nat Wolff (Deathnote) has joined the series adaptation of Stephen King’s epic story The Stand. He will take on the role of Lloyd Henreid, “a petty criminal who becomes fiercely loyal to Randall Flagg, the Dark Man,” who is being played by Alexander Skarsgård.
In addition to Skarsgård, Wolff joins the previously cast James Marsden, Amber Heard, Odessa Young, Jovan Adepo, Owen Teague, Henry Zaga, Brad William Henke, and Whoopi Goldberg.
The Stand tells the story of good vs. evil after a virus wipes out most of the American population. While it features dozens of characters and overlapping storylines running over many years, the struggle boils down to a group of survivors fighting the Antichrist-like character Randall Flagg.
Whoppi Goldberg will be taking on the role of Mother Abagail, a 108-year-old prophet “who receives visions from God and guides survivors of the superflu.”

Some more casting news has surfaced for the upcoming 10-episode series adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand. According to Collider, Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood) has been perfectly cast in the villainous role of Randall Flagg!
Flagg is described by King:
“He looks like anybody you see on the street. But when he grins, birds fall dead off telephone lines…the grass yellows up and dies where he spits. He’s always outside. He came out of time…He has the name of a thousand demons. Jesus knocked him into a herd of pigs once. His name is Legion. He’s afraid of us…He knows magic. He can call the wolves and live in the crows…He’s the king of nowhere.”
This is such a great role for Skarsgard to take on, and I’m excited to see how he will end up bringing the character to life.

One of the engrossing stories from the mind of the great imaginer, Clive Barker's 1989 novel The Great and Secret Show is being summoned for the small screen by filmmaker Josh Boone, who also revealed that Russell Crowe is attached to star in his movie adaptation of Stephen King's Revival.
Earlier this week on Instagram, filmmaker Josh Boone revealed that he is teaming up with Owen King (author of Double Feature: A Novel and son of Stephen King) to develop a TV series based on The Great and Secret Show, with Clive Barker and Mark Alan Miller also offering their invaluable assistance on the project.
The first book (followed by Everville and a yet-to-be-released third book) in the planned "Art Trilogy," The Great and Secret Show follows the dark magic-infused fight over an otherworldly place known as Quiddity. Between 2006–2007, the book was adapted as a 12-issue comic book series...
