So, my favorite book of all time, which I re-read and listen
to in audiobook format, is “The Stand” by Stephen King.
I’m sure we’ve all seen the TV Miniseries that was done in
the 90’s – which in my opinion wasn’t bad.
I think that Gary Sinise was the
perfect Stu Redman.
Also, Adam Storke as Larry Underwood was spot on.
For the last 2 years, rumors have been floating around about
a big screen remake of this, for which I am a huge supporter and I can’t WAIT
for more details.
Currently I am listening to the audiobook of “The Stand”,
and as I enjoy this, I am imagining in my mind which actors I’d like for
characters.
So, for fun, here is my dream cast – so far. What do you
think?
Randall Flagg – Tom Cruise
(Don’t you think he’d make the ultimate “Dark Man”)?
Nadine Cross – Jessica Alba
Stu Redman – Josh Holloway
Fran Goldsmith – Natalie Portman
Larry Underwood – Justin Timberlake
Lucy Swan – Drew Barrymore
Glen Bateman – Anthony Hopkins
Nick Andros – Jared Padalecki (Rob Lowe nailed it, btw)
Tom Cullen – this is a tough one – the guy who played him
originally did so well, its hard to imagine anyone else in the role. Maybe Leonardo Dicaprio?
Mother Abigail – Wanda Sykes
Trashcan Man - Billy Bob Thorton
Trashcan Man - Billy Bob Thorton
This is all I can think of now.
I thought of Jensen Ackles
for Stu Redman, but Josh Holloway’s southern accent is perfect for the
character. Also thought of Terry O’Quinn for Glen Bateman, but I think Anthony
Hopkins would be a better fit.
