Doug Liman Directing Adaptation Of Stephen King’s ‘The Stand’ For Paramount
- Doug Liman is directing and producing a new feature film adaptation of Stephen King's 1978 post-apocalyptic novel The Stand for Paramount Pictures.
- The project follows multiple previous attempts, including two TV miniseries in 1994 and 2020, with Liman and the studio now collaborating to condense King's 1,152-page novel into a standalone film.
- The story centers on two survivor factions led by Stu Redman and Randall Flagg after a global plague, and production will proceed once writers adapt the complex narrative.
- The 1994 miniseries received six Emmy nominations, the 2020 version starred Alexander Skarsgård and Whoopi Goldberg, and Liman is known for successful films like The Bourne Identity and Edge of Tomorrow.
- This adaptation aims to solve the challenge of condensing the lengthy source, but success depends on the screenplay and may signal continued interest in King adaptations amid Hollywood's current focus on his work.
