With a new version of the apocalyptic epic in the works for CBS All Access, CBS and Paramount Home Entertainment have announced that the Emmy Award-winning 1994 miniseries adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand is coming to Blu-ray for the very first time in a special restored Collector’s Edition.
SUPPORT FLICKERING MYTH: Order via Amazon UK or Amazon US
Led by an all-star cast, including Gary Sinise (Forrest Gump), Molly Ringwald (The Breakfast Club), Jamey Sheridan (Spotlight), Corin Nemec (“Parker Lewis Can’t Lose”), Rob Lowe (“The West Wing”), Miguel Ferrer (“NCIS: Los Angeles”) and Laura San Giacomo (“Just Shoot Me!”), THE STAND follows a group of survivors after a deadly plague wipes out the entire population. Those remaining must align themselves with either the forces of good, led by the frail 108-year-old Mother Abagail (Ruby Dee, A Raisin in the Sun), or evil, a group steered by a man with a lethal smile, Randall Flagg (Sheridan). The two sides face off in a climactic battle that will determine the final fate of mankind.
