director of Captain Phillips

Paul Greengrass, accepted the challenge of the adaptation of Stephen King's 'The Stand'

Gerald Henderson , director of Captain Phillips, The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum and Green Zone could be the final person slotted to take on the project. King’s novel The Stand is the story of a post-apocalyptic world where 99 percent of the population has been wiped out from a superflu pandemic. In 1994 the story was made into a TV mini-series that starred Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald and Gary Sinise. The series only lasted one season. Fun fact: Stephen King made an appearance in the mini-series, as did Kareem Abdul-Jabba.
