“The Stand” Has Yet Another Director
Variety reports that Josh Boone may be the next director to attempt to take on a feature version of Stephen King’s post-apocalyptic novel “The Stand” for Warner Bros. and CBS Films.
“The Stand,” originally published in 1978, is divided into three parts and launches with a pandemic that leads to the death of an estimated 99.4% of the world’s human population. The tome chronicles the cross-country odysseys undertaken by survivors who are drawn to Boulder, Colo., and Las Vegas, where a final confrontation between two camps takes place.
Boone is in early talks to helm the film, which previously had Scott Cooper, Ben Affleck and David Yates attached.
Boone directed Fox’s The Fault In Our Stars, which stars Shailene Woodley and will be released on June 6. He has a long relationship with King and his feature debut Stuck in Love included King’s voice.o.
