24 Hottest Stephen King Films Currently In Development

3. The Stand Quadrilogy?

Release: TBC Status: Pre-production Another King adaptation for Josh Boone, who plans to take on the decades-long development hell issues of the author's multi-part epic and make no less than four films. At last check, Boone said he wanted Christian Bale to play Randall Flagg and Matthew McConaughey to play Stu Redman for the series. That later changed to McConaughey playing Flagg a couple of months later, as a script was reportedly turned in.
