CBS All Access presents the first trailer of the new series “The Stand”, the next adaptation of the famous novel by Stephen King of the same name. The premiere this year!
The apocalyptic vision of Stephen King with a deadly virus pandemic in the background has been re-screened. This time, we will see Bastion in a version of the 9-episode television series from CBS All Access . It is co-created by Josh Boone and Benjamin Cavell .
Stephen King admitted that he didn’t quite like the ending featured in the 1994 ABC 4-episode mini-series, so it’s going to be changed a bit this time. We’ll see what happened later with the main characters Stu and Fran.
The novel The Bastion, published in 1978, presents a world where a mysterious flu-like virus has taken its toll on 99.4% of the world’s population. The survivors had revelations in the form of dream visions and split into two groups: envoys of the forces of Good led by 108-year-old Mother Abagail (we will see Whoopi Goldberg in this role in the new version ) and Evil, led by Randall Flagg (this time played by Alexandra Skarsgårda ).
In the other main roles we will see, among others:
- James Marsden as Stu Redman,
- Odessa Young as Frannie Goldsmith,
- Jovan Adepo as Larry Underwood,
- Amber Heard as Nadine Cross.
