Deadlines is reporting that Warner Bros is pushing forward with "The Stand" movie, based on Stephen King's apocalyptic novel, and has made an offer to Matthew McConaughey to play the role of Randall Flagg. Flagg is the personification of evil, a demonic figure who wreaks havoc after a plague kills most of the population. The character was played by Jamie Sheridan in the mini-series adaptation, and has appeared numerous time in King's other works. The new movie will be directed by Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars), who's currently in talks to direct the latest "Lestat" film based on the books by Anne Rice. Meanwhile, McConaughey will soon be seen in Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" sci-fi movie.
