Christmas comes early for Stephen King fans this year, as last week marked the premiere of CBS All Access’
The Stand, a new, nine-part adaptation of King’s post-apocalyptic riff on
Lord Of The Rings. There’s an unexpected timeliness to the story’s post-pandemic landscape, in which plague survivors are supernaturally drawn to opposing camps, but don’t go in expecting another
Contagion. As with King’s novel, the CBS limited series is primarily about what happens
after 99.4% of the world’s population is gone. That much is made clear in the premiere, which, in a departure from King’s novel, begins in the wake of what society names Captain Trips.
Bright Eyes members scored new ‘The Stand’ adaptation
Stephen King epic post-apocalyptic novel
The Stand begins airing today (12/17) on streaming service CBS All Access. The nine-episode limited series stars
James Marsden (Stu Redman),
Whoopi Goldberg (Mother Abagail), and the score was composed by two members of
Bright Eyes:
Mike Mogis and
Nate Walcott. Both have extensive discographies beyond their work with Bright Eyes, and they ve composed a score together before, too, for the 2014 film adaptation of
The Fault in Our Stars.
With a very contagious and deadly pandemic, known as Captain Tripps, as one of its main focuses,
The Stand feels more relevant than ever in 2020, although how this adaptation will rank against the 1994 ABC adaptation starring Gary Sinise, Adam Storke, Molly Ringwald, Rob Lowe, Miguel Ferrer, Laura San Giacomo, Jamey Sheridan, and others remains to be seen. You can watch the trailer below.
27 Dresses? Or is he the evil one with nefarious motives like in Hulu’s
Mrs. America, Netflix’s
27 Dresses?
These themes hit a crescendo with Marsden’s latest role in limited series,
The Stand. Based on the popular Stephen King novel, the star-studded CBS All Access program focuses on the few survivors of flu-like pandemic that swiftly wiped out most of the world’s population. Will those remaining choose the path of good? Led by Whoopi Goldberg’s nurturing 108-year-old Mother Abagail, this flock sticks to their dwellings in Boulder, Colorado. Or will they decide to stand with Randall Flagg, Alexander Skarsgard’s alluring and intoxicating “Dark Man” who has staked his claim on the remains of Las Vegas?
