I didn't know until recently that there will a remake of "The Stand" in 2020. It will be on CBS Access, which means one has to have a subscription to the site to watch it. That's out of the question for me; I'm not subscriibng to something just to see it once. 

 

 That's a disappointing move;the show should be on regular networks to appeal to a larger audience. I liked the orginal series, so would have been interested to check out the remake.

Isn't Whoopie in that movie?  

I think her hair is styled for her part in the movie.

Why mess with perfection?  

 

Outstanding adaptation of Stephen King's masterpiece The Stand already exists.  The movie was faithful to the book, the actors were exceptional....it will be interesting to see the "improvements" to this stellar film.

@countrylady: Yes, Whoopi is in this movie and is the reason for the new hairstyle.

@teganslaw  After the season ends, you can watch CBS Access series on the FREE CBS station if you have cable On Demand.

I concur @phoenixbrd .

The Stand is near the top of my favorite book of all time list and the original series was perfection. Cat Very Happy
