Josh Boone to direct three hour version of star-studded The Stand [STAND]
So I’m a big Stephen King fan, and I know you’re a gigantic Stephen King fan, so I have to ask about The Stand. You’re directing it. What can you tell me about it?
We’re gonna do one three-hour, R-rated version with an amazing A-list cast across the board. Every single one of those characters will be somebody you recognize and somebody you relate to. And it’s gonna be awesome. I’m really excited. It’s the most exciting thing I’ve ever got to do in my entire life. If 12-year-old me had ever known that one day I’d be doing this, to even just go back and look at that kid, I’d be like, Keep doing what you’re doing! It’s just crazy. I’ve met so many actors over the years, and like, when I met Stephen King, I hugged him with tears in my eyes. He meant that much to me when I was young. I still say everything I learned about writing I learned from Stephen King. I don’t read screenplays. I don’t read screenplay how-to books. It’s always just, establish the character. Establish the character.

so too long for the non-fan to bother sitting through, but not nearly long enough to satisfy the fans of the book Jun 05, 19:05
Three hours would be about right for the first third of the book. {nm} Jun 05, 19:55
Here's hoping they don't shoot Dave kajganich's script I read last year... And I say this as a King fan. {nm} Jun 05, 19:50
