Tweet By Uncle Creepy January 19th, 2012 We cannot imagine what kind of lunacy it would entail adapting the Stephen King epic The Stand for the big screen. It would take a herculean effort on the part of a writer who's just a little bit crazy. That being said, Warner Brothers has found its lunatic! According to New York Magazine's Vulture, director Ben Affleck has hired screenwriter David Kajganich (The Invasion, Blood Creek) to pen the script after Kajganich wowed Warner Bros. with his recent adaptation of another King novel - the 1986 horror classic It, which, like The Stand, is being produced by Roy Lee and Doug Davison. Look for more on this one soon. VISIT THE EVILSHOP @ AMAZON! Got news? Click here to submit it! Take a stand in the comments section below.
