Not the hack job I was afraid it might be.

I sat down to watch this with real trepidation as I have read the novel so many times that it has become incredibly real to me. Like so many other fans of the book, I had created the characters in my mind and could actually visualise them. After the hack job that was the TV adaptation of 'It' I could not imagine that I could be anything other than sorely disappointed.

I am glad to report to other 'Stand' fans that it aint' half bad. Granted there are some horribly miscast parts. Molly Ringwald failed to portray Fran's immense courage and determination and was (I'm sorry to say) neither young enough nor pretty enough. Corin Nemec as Harold was just a TOTAL joke. Harold was FAT, FAT, FAT with long greasy hair -not a skinny dweeb in a track suit. When I think of Harold I imagine Philip Seymour Hoffman (or Meat Loaf in his Rocky Horror days). Finally I must also mention Laura San Giacomo as Nadine - she played her like some kind of manic depressive( ! ). However, there is enough about the film that is excellent that it kind of makes up for that. I have to single out Gary Sinise as Stu - he must have read and loved the book himself as his performance had incredible depth and thoughtfulness. In addition Adam Storke and Rob Lowe were tremendous as Larry and Nick respectively and Bill Faggerbacke WAS Tom Cullen.

The music and cinematography were an integral part of the film's power to pull you in and bewitch you. I watched the whole thing in one go as I literally couldn't switch off.

If you are a Stephen King fan you shouldn't be afraid to watch this and if you aren't then it's a cracking story, very well told.

Not as bad as I expected it to be

I have to admit that I didn't start watching The Stand with great expectations.. but, surprisingly enough, I didn't find it all that bad. The acting definitely was done well, and considering that it must have been quite a chore to turn such a huge novel into a film, I must say that, despite a few little goofs, the directors have done a really good job.

A Satisfactory Adaptation of the Book

This mini-series begins at a secret government lab in California that accidently releases an extremely lethal modification of the flu into the air which quickly infects everybody within the vicinity. Realizing the danger that this virus poses to his family, a security guard by the name of "Charlie Campion" (Ray McKinnon) hurries out of the compound and--with his wife and small child--drives as fast as he can in order to put distance between them and this horrific contagion. Unfortunately, despite his best efforts the virus takes hold and in a state of complete exhaustion he eventually succumbs to the disease and crashes into a gas pump at a grocery store in East Texas. Naturally, this sudden development brings out all of those inside the building-which then exposes all of them to the virus as well. So, with containment no longer possible, the virus soon spreads to all parts of the country leaving most of the population dead within weeks. The small number of people who do survive become split up into two factions with the main characteristic being a specific vision that each of them have. Those who are essentially good dream of an old black lady by the name of "Abigail Freemantle" (Ruby Dee) who beckons them to join her in Nebraska. The other dream involves a sinister man named "Randall Flagg" (Jamie Sheridan) who urges his followers to come to Las Vegas and join him. And it's this split that results in the horrors yet to come. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that, having read the book by Stephen King a couple of years prior to this film, I have to say that I was a somewhat disappointed overall in that it didn't quite capture the dark horror to its fullest extent. But then, more often than not, that's typically the case for films based on novels anyway. In any case, this movie still managed to combine enough of the original suspense with some decent acting all around and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Above average.

read the book

Someone originally made me watch this mini-series that he had on tape. I was very impressed with it even though it was a television movie. The whole time I was watching it my friend was raving about how much better the book was. I like the movie so much (8/10) that I broke down and bought the unabridged edition of it. It took a painstaking 3 months to read the book. It was tiresome at first, but at the end I didn't want the story to end. I also told myself that I would not watch the movie again until I finished the book. I went back and re-watch the movie. I couldn't believe how much they left out of the book that I had grown to love. I struggled watching it and have a much different look at the movie (5/10)

I guess that if you have not read the book and have 6 1/2 hours so waste, watch the movie. It is a great story and done well for a tv mini-series. If you watch the movie and like the story, read the book. There is SO much more to it. If you read the book though, don't waste your time.

This is the one to watch

It is cheesy at times but holds very true to the original story and was directed by someone competent which cant be said for the new one.

I have read the book and the extended version King released later and would suggest reading the original Stand he released first, then watch this movie.

Forget the 2020 remake even exists, much like 2020, its a dumpster fire.

For years it was planned to make this story into a theatrical film, directed by George A. Romero. Stephen King did many drafts to make it of a suitable length for a feature film, and when he couldn't get it short enough they considered breaking it into two separate films before finally letting Rospo Pallenberg write a draft. But before they could make it, King was offered the chance to make this mini-series for television.

When Nick and Tom first meet Ralph, they are headed in opposite directions, but going to the same place. Nick and Tom get into Ralph's truck and head back the way they came from, yet they are all allegedly headed to Nebraska.

Zitate
Scientist: [Stu wakes up from a nightmare, sweating, breathing heavily before getting his bearings and sitting up, taking a TV remote and about to turn the TV on when an obviously-infected scientist, Dietz, enters wearing no protection, holding a mysterious object behind his back, and walks up to his bed] Well... how we feelin', Stu?
Stuart Redman: [stares at Dietz, speaking after a couple seconds] Fine.
Scientist: "Fine"... always "Fine"...
[as he monologues the following, the camera pans across a control panel outside of Stu's room, showing a pile of files of people from Arnette, Texas, all of them stamped DECEASED except for Stu's, Geraldo, the guinea pig who'd been acting as a miner's canary for Stu's air, laying dead in his cage, and a deceased scientist next to it, both of them having succumbed to Captain Tripps which has taken the Vermont Center]
Scientist: ... I respect that.
[coughs]
Scientist: All the tests we ran on you... and we never found a single immunity vector, not one.
[brief coughing fit]
Scientist: Come, I'm curious; how would you explain it, Stu?
[cough]
Scientist: Have you been touched, by God?
[slightly more serious coughing fit]
Stuart Redman: [stares at Dietz while cautiously and slowly standing up and turning to face him before gesturing at Dietz's hand behind his back] Watcha got behind your back?
Scientist: [chuckles and puts his other hand behind his back as well, switching the mysterious object to his other hand before showing the empty hand that was holding the object before he starts coughing, Stu begins to slowly approach Dietz, who points the "mysterious object", now revealed to be a gun, at Stu] Ah!
Stuart Redman: [stares nervously at the gun and backs off] I see...
Scientist: Do you?
[line unintelligible]
Scientist: I wonder...
Stuart Redman: [looks to the door, then back to Dietz before nodding towards the door] Where's your buddy, Denninger?
[he begins slowly moving sideways to the door, maintaining eye contact with Dietz, who begins doing the same]
Scientist: Oh... he's dead...
[moves the gun to his other hand]
Scientist: ... they're ALL dead... everyone except for me...
[points to Stu with the gun]
Scientist: ... and thee.
Stuart Redman: And you're here to take care of me, is that it?
Scientist: Hole in one!
[coughing fit]
Stuart Redman: [Shaking his head] Why?
Scientist: "Why?"...
[brief expression of thought before he looks to Stu again, still pointing the gun at him]
Scientist: Because I've decided a chicken-fried piece of crap like you doesn't deserve to live... not with so many good men dyin'.
Stuart Redman: [scoffs, sounding disgusted] Those "good men"... caused this mess.
Scientist: [contemptibly, with a tone and expression of disgust, blowing off what Stu said] Ohhh...
[Stu dramatically points the remote at Dietz and turns the TV on, the static distracting him long enough for Stu to attack, the two men begin fighting each other]

Alternative Versionen
The version most widely seen now on DVD and Blu-ray differs from the original TV broadcast and Worldvision home video release. Among numerous small changes to credits and transitions (for instance removing many of the fades to black for commercial), it also restores explicit footage to two scenes and adds a third altogether.
The death of Dayna in Randall Flagg's office is more graphic, with Flagg picking up and tossing away her bloodied dead body after she commits suicide by throwing herself onto a jagged glass frame; the original version instead cut to the lobby downstairs, where people look up uneasily upon hearing Flagg roar.
Nadine and Flagg's "wedding night" is longer, with more reaction shots of Nadine and additional shots of Flagg unzipping his pants and positioning himself.
A short scene has been added in which Flagg drives back to Las Vegas the next morning, with Nadine (with her hair bleached white) in the passenger seat.
