Run for your lives!
Two new clips showcase footage of a tense chase scene from the CBS All Access adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand. In one of the videos, actor Heather Graham (of Drugstore Cowboy and Boogie Nights fame) can be seen running frantically away from a mob of heavily armed gunmen. She races past empty vehicles littering the streets of a forsaken New York City.
The second video shows the actor walking across the dystopian city, before turning around after something grabs her attention. The videos most likely show the same scene, with the second one occurring right before the first.
The Stand is a post-apocalyptic adventure about the aftermath of a devastating virus. A massive percentage of humanity is wiped out and a band of survivors led by Mother Abigail -- a devout, elderly woman -- establish a community to rebuild civilization. However, a volatile army of murderers and deviants, led by the nefarious Randall Flag (played by Alexander Skarsgard), attempts to thwart their noble plans at every turn.
The novel was first published in 1978, with the first television adaption airing in 1994 as a miniseries on ABC. The new adaption will be 10 episodes long and will feature a new ending written by Stephen King.
The Stand will air in 2020 on CBS All Access. Josh Boone will serve as the showrunner along with Benjamin Cavell. The series will star James Marsden, Amber Heard, Alexander Skarsgard, Whoopi Goldberg, Marilyn Manson, Eion Bailey and Heather Graham.
