Off Book #10 – Mick Garris and Adapting The Stand (1994)
No full treatment of The Stand would be complete without a look at Mick Garris’ landmark television adaptation. In 1994 he put together an adjacent epic, transforming 1300 pages into 8 hours of prime-time viewing.
It was my introduction to Stephen King. It is one of my fondest memories with my dad.
So it’s a true honour to get Mick on the show to talk about how it all came together. The scriptwriting with King, the killer cast, the Hollywood gossip, and the traffic-stopping shoot.
Plus, we talk about how Mick’s creative life has been entwined with King’s – for better or for worse.
Enjoy
