10 Perfect Casting Choices For The Stand Remake

10. Nadine Cross - Charlize Theron

Played in the mini-series by: Laura San Giacomo A sexually repressed teacher at a private school in Vermont, Cross has retained her virginity due to a vaguely defined, but powerful sense that she is destined for something described by the novel's author as "dark and unique." Dark and unique indeed. Her betrothed is none other than Randall Flagg himself. Cross is described as attractive yet complex and cold. Along the way she forms relationships with various members of the Boulder Free Zone, but that nagging sense of future destiny never allows her to completely feel free. She makes one last desperate attempt to break free of her shackles of doom, only to see that fail. Dejected, she accepts her fate - a fate worse than death. Charlize Theron has shown incredible range throughout her years on the big screen. Her performance in Monster as serial killer Aileen Wuornos earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress. She has just the right combination of vulnerability and strength to bring Nadine Cross to life. And clearly Attractive and Charlize Theron are on a first name basis.
