Stephen King's The Stand on CBS All Access

[Brother Jack]

I’ve got a feeling he’ll either be playing Lloyd Henreid or Trash Can Man.

I've never seen the guy really act in anything, but I'm willing to bet he wouldn't be up for a role as meaty as Lloyd. Trashcan Man might work, but I think it's more likely a much smaller role the monster caller that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played in the old miniseries.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I know I mentioned McConaughey as Stu but goddam would he have made a great Flagg. Technically the Man in Black is Flagg so it could be a do over!

Though personally, I would cast an unknown actor. It would be more terrifying if it was an unrecognizable face.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

I’m down for McConaughey getting another shot at Flagg.

He's in the last season of Son's of Anarchy as a recurring character and did a good job with the role. He played a prison shotcaller for the aryan brotherhood.

I’ve got a feeling he’ll either be playing Lloyd Henreid or Trash Can Man.

Trashcan Man would be perfect! He's also doing a cover of "The End" from The Doors. Hell yeah.

‘The Stand’: James Marsden, Amber Heard, Odessa Young & Henry Zaga Set For Stephen King’s CBS All Access Series – Deadline

Plus...

King will write the last chapter of the series, providing a new coda that won’t be found in the book.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I can’t help but feel what a disappointing cast for such a huge epic.

 

[Sawyer]

Concessions need to be made based on the venue. CBS All Access doesn't yet have HBO/Netflix clout, so...

None of these actors seem bad to me. At least it's a helluva or better than we'd get on CBS proper. Which would be, like... Eddie Cibrian as Stu and Alyssa Milano as Nadine.

[Brother Jack]

That's kinda crazy. I have no clue as to what that new coda would be beyond the epilogue that's already in the complete and uncut version of the novel.

[David H.]

Eh... sure. I guess Stellan should play Leland Gaunt in the Needful Things remake or something now.

 

[Brother Jack]

Kinda funny that his younger brother is playing Pennywise.

Oh, this is good.

 

[Sawyer]

Also no one is going to believe me, but i pegged Henke for Tom Cullen when I first read the book.

A decade ago.

 

[Deck Rickard]

That Dark Tower TV series should cast Bald Skarsgard Brother from Westworld as John Farson

Surprised they went so young.
