Stephen King's The Stand

1/31/11 - Warner Bros. and CBS Films are teaming to adapt Stephen King's The Stand, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  Mosaic and Roy Lee are producing.  The companies will co-develop and co-produce the feature film, with CBS having the option to participate in co-financing. Warners will handle worldwide marketing and distribution.  The studios and producers will sit down with writers and directors in the coming weeks in an attempt to find the right take on the material.  King will be involved in some capacity.  The Stand is a story of good vs. evil after a virus wipes out most of the American population. While it features dozens of characters and overlapping story lines running over many years, the struggle boils down to a group of survivors fighting the Antichrist-like Randall Flagg.
