About a month ago I hit you all with the news that Warner Bros. were planning a trilogy based on Stephen King’s epic novel THE STAND and that they were looking to HARRY POTTER alumn David Yates to direct. You guys remember that?
Well here we are a month later and according to HitFix that is indeed the case! According to the site Warner Bros. are finalizing a deal that would not only bring Yates on to direct, but would also lock up POTTER scribe Steve Kloves!
Though the official announcement has yet to come out, it’s to be understood that Yates and Kloves are all but a done deal for the long-awaited trilogy. Actually, this project is on the fast track from Warner Bros. and producers Vertigo Pictures so I’d suspect we could get that official announcement anyday now.
So what do you guys think? You digging Yates and Kloves as the duo tackling THE STAND? Personally I’m all for it, but let’s hear from you guys! Spit some bullets below with your two cents and be sure to keep it here for more this highly anticipated project as we hear it!
