The film adaptation of Stephen King’s epic novel The Stand has been trying to get made for years in Hollywood. Directors have been on and off the project, but casting news has come out today that Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars) will have a part in the film being directed by Josh Boone who also directed and worked with Wolff in TFIOS. Read on for more details.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Boone is attached to direct the adaptation of Stephen King’s epic novel, which is being made by Warner Bros. and CBS Films.
The Fault in Our Stars actor Nat Wolff has landed a role in TFIOS director Josh Boone’s next film, The Stand.
The Stand has cycled through several directors over the years, with Scott Cooper most recently on board to direct (as well as write) before leaving the project in November. Before that, Ben Affleck and David Yates were attached as directors.
The Stand, which is being produced by Jimmy Miller and Roy Lee, is a story of good versus evil after a virus wipes out most of the American population. It features dozens of characters (including such memorable ones as the Trashcan Man and Mother Abigail) and overlapping storylines running over many years as it tells of a group of survivors fighting the Antichrist-like Randall Flagg.
