Stephen King's "The Stand" to become a series of movies

How about Nathan Fillion as Stu?

Jensen Ackles as Larry?

One of the best moments in The Stand was when Nadine took a shot at getting out of it, but doing so required someone else (Larry) to abandon his best chance for redemption, and he refused. All of that was really well-written.

Whoever plays Larry also has to be able to pull off his dissolute 70s rock musician phase, and I don’t know if Hiddleston can do that.

Tom Hiddleston can do anything. He’s going from Loki to Hank Williams! He’s a depressed, cynical musician in Only Lovers Left Alive (it’s a bonus he’s an ancient vampire married to a far more ancient vampire, played by Tilda Swinton). Larry would be a breeze for him.

I will be looking for that.

Interesting. I think this could just work.

Also interesting. I have a hard time picturing Dean in anything but a crew cut, but with some longer, rocker hair…

It really was. There was no good answer there - someone was going to make the wrong decision.

A week in and no one has mentioned that the characters name is actually Lloyd Henried not Floyd. I’m thinking the character is so unimportant who cares who plays him?

They’ll Pokerize anyone who makes that mistake again :slight_smile:

I think Jonathan Banks is too old to play Lloyd. I’d like to see Jon Bernthal maybe.

Dammit! My only excuse is that the character probably should have been named Floyd - he’s much more of a Floyd than a Lloyd.

Jonathan Banks too old to play Lloyd? I can see that. Jon Bernthal? Yeah, actually, I can see that, too. He does play kind of dumb and kind of mean pretty well.

Hey, I was just looking at actors, and I came across an interesting idea - Edward James Olmos for the role of The Judge.
