In an interview with Christina Radish at Collider, Scott Cooper shared some of his thoughts on The Stand. Cooper had been slated to direct the movie, but like many before him, backed out.
What happened with your involvement with The Stand? Did that just not work out?
COOPER: Yeah, I’ve moved on. It was a great process of connecting with Mr. [Stephen] King. It’s a great piece, but it’s a tough story to crack in one telling. It really should probably be told not unlike The Lord of the Rings, so you could really do justice to such a great piece of material. He’s a great guy and so supportive, but if you’re going to take something on like that, you want to make sure you get it right.
