‘The Stand’ Coming To Showtime For 8-Part Miniseries?
According to The Wrap, Stephen King’s story The Stand will be hitting theaters only after an 8-part miniseries that is set to air on Showtime.
The idea is this: Josh Boone will be writing and directing the series, which might begin shooting early next year, and the series will culminate with the feature film. Now, this deal is not yet complete. Warner Bros. and CBS Films are still in negotiations with Showtime.
It’s an interesting move because it assumes that people will be willing to purchase a subscription package to Showtime to stay up-to-date with the series before seeing the film in theaters. Additionally, if the film doesn’t take place at the beginning of the story, unknowing moviegoers will be incredibly confused as to what’s happening.
The Stand follows a group of people who survived a global deadly virus that wiped out nearly all of humanity. They must then make their stand (no pun intended) against an Antichrist-like figure known as Randall Flagg.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
