Making an adaptation of Stephen King's work is harder than it looks. Not only is King one of the most prolific authors of all time, but his novels tend to be fairly dense in terms of sry. And none of King's novels is as dense as The Stand, which is considered to be his magnum opus. Doug Liman recently announced that he'll be the latest filmmaker to adapt The Stand, but King fans balked at his plans to condense the novel's events into a single film. This approach to The Stand can probably be called "bold" at best and "insane" at worst, but it displays the underlying issues that have plagued previous attempts to bring The Stand to life.
