In reply to the discussion: Stephen King’s ‘The Stand’ Planned as Four Movies; Director Teases A-List Cast [View all]LanternWaste

The miniseries divided it pretty well into four intuitive parts I thought. (The Plague, The Dreams, The Betrayal and The Stand). My friend and I were talking about how today's CGI and a massive budget could really make The Plague into a thing of beautiful horror and buttered-popcorn (I haven't seen any recent zombie movies, but I'm thinking they're pretty hard-core too).
No idea who I'd get to play any particular part-- but it's a fun idea to play with (but it's difficult for me to imagine Larry Underwood as anyone other than the original actor. He took that role and made it his).
Harold Lauder...? Whoever gets that role is going to have some serious fun!

When King had it re-released, he restored some 600 pages that had been edited out

My initial thought for Nadine was Lizzie Caplan and Mandy Patinkin as Glen Bateman

I've seen the 1970's production, but have never read the book (hangs head in abject shame)

I hope they leave out the whole sequence with Trashcan Man's encounter with The Kid.
