James Marsden and Amber Heard will star in ‘The Stand’, a limited series based on the Stephen King novel.
###
CBS All Access said that King will write the final chapter of the drama, a coda not in his book about a plague-devastated world.
###
Marsden will play Stu, a factory worker facing an extraordinary situation. Heard’s character is Nadine, who follows an evil being with supernatural powers.
###
Odessa Young and Henry Zaga also will be part of the cast, the streaming service said.
###
‘The Stand’ was adapted for a 1994 miniseries, which was written by King and included Gary Sinise and Ruby Dee in the cast.
###
The premiere date and other stars of CBS All Access’ ‘The Stand’ have yet to be announced.
