47 Years Later, A Stephen King Post-Apocalypse Thriller Is Getting An Unnecessary Adaptation
Briefly

Stephen King adaptations are thriving, primarily driven by Mike Flanagan's recent efforts. Alongside his projects, new adaptations like Edgar Wright's Running Man and Long Walk are in the works. A fresh theatrical interpretation of The Stand will be directed by Doug Liman, following a recent version on Paramount+. This project marks the third attempt to bring King's vast post-apocalyptic narrative to life, highlighting the ongoing challenge of translating the expansive story into a feature film format.
The Stand is a massive story, and previous adaptations have struggled with condensing its myriad characters into a single feature film.
Doug Liman, known for Edge of Tomorrow and The Bourne Identity, will helm the new adaptation of The Stand, his first venture into King's work.
