This article contains spoilers for episode 3 of The Stand.
After spending much of episodes 1 and 2 with important characters such as Stu Redman (James Marsden), Frannie Goldsmith (Odessa Young), Harold Lauder (Owen Teague) and Larry Underwood (Jovan Adepo), the new miniseries version of Stephen King’s The Stand brings in or fills out the backgrounds of several more key personnel in episode 3, titled “Blank Pages.”
This episode of the nine-part CBS All Access limited series introduces the characters of Nick Andros (Brazilian actor Henry Zaga from The New Mutants), Ray Brentner (Irene Bedard) and Tom Cullen (Brad William Henke), all of whom play a major role in King’s tale — and all of whom have received a fairly significant overhaul for the new adaptation.
In King’s book and the 1994 miniseries, Ray is Ralph Brentner, a physically imposing yet good-natured 45-year-old farmer from Oklahoma and a key leader of the Boulder Free Zone.

CBS All Access offers a glimpse in a new trailer for its upcoming nine-episode limited series adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Stand,” released Friday at New York Comic Con.

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 Stand” is based on Stephen King’s 1978 novel of the same name and follows a battle between good and evil among the survivors of a plague. The main characters in the apocalyptic story are primarily split into two camps: those who follow the 108-year-old Mother Abagail, and those who align with Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.

Initially released in 1978 (followed by that mammoth uncut edition in 1990), Stephen King's The Stand is as timely now as it was over 40 years ago, and this holiday season Captain Trips will be unleashed once again when a new limited series adaptation of The Stand premieres on CBS All Access on Thursday, December 17th.
Following its premiere on the streaming service, CBS All Access will release a new episode of The Stand limited series every Thursday for the duration of its nine-episode run. As previously announced, the new series will feature a new final coda written by Stephen King that is different than the conclusion of the book.

The Big Little Lies star joins James Marsden, Amber Heard, Odessa Young, Jovan Adepo, Owen Teague, Henry Zaga, Brad William Henke and Whoopi Goldberg in the drama, which has kicked off filming in Vancouver.
Skarsgård plays Randall Flagg, also known as ‘the Dark Man’, whose unsettling and ever-changing presence is the embodiment of pure evil. Like Mother Abagail (Goldberg), Flagg appears in plague survivors’ dreams but, unlike her divine messaging, his ultimate goal is far more sinister.

The “Big Little Lies” and “True Blood” actor joins a cast which already includes the likes of James Marsden, Amber Heard, and Whoopi Goldberg. Goldberg revealed her casting during King’s appearance on her ABC talk show “The View” on Wednesday morning.
“The Stand” presents an apocalyptic vision of a world decimated by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil. The fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old other Mother Abagail (Goldberg) and a handful of survivors.
Skarsgard will play Randall Flagg. Also known as “the Dark Man,” his unsettling and ever-changing presence is the embodiment of pure evil. Like Mother Abagail, Flagg appears in plague survivors’ dreams, but unlike her divine messaging, his ultimate goal is far more sinister.

Stephen King adaptations have proven a very reliable moneymaker over the last couple of years, so it’s no surprise that CBS has decided to pick up Josh Boone and Ben Cavell’s adaptation of The Stand for their All Access service. The network’s ordered ten episodes of the series, but given the length and complexity of the book, I’m betting that it’ll take two or three more seasons to tell the full story.
The Stand is one of King’s lengthier tomes, taking us through the complete breakdown of society after a biological weapon (a deadly strain of the flu) is released that kills off 99% of the population. The plot involves the government imposing martial law in a futile attempt to stop the virus, the military violently censoring information, Russia and China being deliberately infected to spread the misery globally and the personal toll this takes on the few survivors.

Director Josh Boone has been developing an adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand for years! It started out as one film, then turned into multiple films, that eventually evolved into a 10-episode series at CBS All Access, which has officially greenlit the show, which is super exciting!
I’ve been looking forward to seeing Boone’s vision of this story because I’ve liked everything that he’s had to say about it over the years. He has been developing it alongside Seal Team creator and executive producer Ben Cavell and Boone will direct all ten episodes.

If there is anything surprising about Jackass it’s that there is still life in the formula and Johnny Knoxville is still a part of it. The fact is though Bad Grandpa shows that the concept that actually still work and can evolve into something a little more substantial. Basing the stunts around two characters and sticking to a storyline may sound like a risky move, but surprisingly it works.
The story basic as it is sees Johnny Knoxville play the part of Irving Zisman who when his wife dies thinks he’s finally got his freedom and can do what he wants. When his daughter ends up in prison though he soon finds himself stuck with his grandson Billy (Jackson Nicoll) who...

Everyone’s heard of the Jackass movies even if they haven’t seen them. Movies where people with an extremely high pain threshold put their minds and bodies to the test in various dares and pranks. These movies have been put to the test in the public’s eye as an interactive form of movie watching where the main characters (in what could almost be considered a documentary style) play pranks on the public and on each other and, so far, the films have been welcomed into society.
