The Fault in Our Stars may be required viewing if you want a good cry this weekend, but the film’s director, Josh Boone, has his eyes on the highly-anticipated adaptation of Stephen King’s post-apocalyptic masterpiece, The Stand, for his next project. The two films couldn’t be any different, but on both, the director has to make sure that he is respecting the source material in order to avoid the rage of the books’ hardcore fans.
In an interview with Vulture, Boone elaborated on his plans for The Stand, which, on the surface, sound like the perfect take for King’s world. Here is what he had to say:
None
While King’s books are noted for their horror and gore, the adaptations are usually neutered on the big screen. Thankfully Boone is a big fan, and he’s looking to bring that authentic King flair to the project. Let’s just hope he follows through.
