‘The Stand’: CBS All Access Reveals First Teaser of Stephen King Adaptation

CBS All Access has released the first teaser for its upcoming adaptation of “The Stand.”

The short teaser, clocking in at just 30 seconds, aired during Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards. It briefly shows Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abagail, introducing herself to Frannie Goldsmith (Odessa Young) in a cornfield and beckoning her, “you come see me at Hemingfoot Home.” From there, it goes on to display eerie deserted streets, distressing hospital moments and even a little bit of levitation.

The show’s creator has supposedly signed a deal with Netflix for a sequel series to take place about 200 years after “Vikings” so roughly around the time of the Battle of Hastings and the Norman conquest of England.

I just loved this show so much!

Bishop Heahmund, the most badass Christian on television. Slaying pagans for Jesus.

Hated when they killed him, and Athelstan, too.

All of my snakes friends and I laughed our collective arses off when they threw Ragnar into the pit of “deadly” Ball Pythons, Corn Snakes and assorted Boas.

So far from Vipers you couldn’t even see them from there.

:D

Matt Frewer (Max Headroom), was excellent in his role.

You said Karen Johnson (Whoopie Goldberg), the murderer of 6 of her children through abortions ? Just the thought of having to look at her/it is enough to make me not see this film.

I loved Mother Abigail.

Whoopie is an abomination.

The musician character Larry Underwood is now black. He was white in the book.

What. I just pulled my copy off the shelf. Now his conversation with his mother about his record makes no sense:

"Also, you did something to your voice. You sound like a n*****."
...
"That brown soun, she sho do get aroun," Larry said, deepening his voice to Bill Withers level and smiling.

I'm surprised they didn't make Randall Flagg into a Donalt Trump clone.

Why do they keep making movies from this talentless hack.

Probably because the people who green light films are flaming leftists too.

Don’t forget, all new movies must now meet diversity quotas to be considered for best picture Oscars.

Whoopi Goldberg is a step down. The Mother Abigail of the original TV series, Ruby Dee, was a fine actress and, although a Lefty with strong civil rights credentials, she was unlike Whoopi in being responsible and measured in her public statements and conduct.

Agree. We are purging our household of things we do not need. The Stand is the only King book we will keep. And I thought the Sinese mini-series version was really good.
