Talking Scared

Off Book #10 – Mick Garris and Adapting The Stand (1994)


Listen Later

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
