US EditionDoug 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 novel The Stand for Paramount Pictures.
- The project follows previous attempts by filmmakers like George A. Romero and Ben Affleck, with studios moving aggressively to develop the adaptation though no script exists yet.
- The Stand, King’s longest novel at more than 1,150 pages, tells the story of a post-apocalyptic struggle between forces of good and evil following a catastrophic plague that devastates humanity.
- Liman and producers including Tyler Thompson plan to condense the novel into one film, noting it will be a priority and challenging writing assignment given the source’s size and scope.
- This film adaptation marks the first theatrical version of The Stand, following two miniseries adaptations in 1994 and 2020, and it may take time before development completes.
