Deadline report that Warner Bros have now chosen director Ben Affleck (who was last year named as one of the the frontrunners for
Man of Steel before turning it down) to direct the highly anticipated adaptation of Stephen King novel, and Marvel comic book series,
The Stand. There are no further details at this current time, but with movies like
The Town,
Gone Baby Gone and upcoming Iranian hostage drama
Argo all under his belt, I think it's faiur to say that the studio have made a great choice! Will he also star in it? We'll just have to wait and see, although there is some buzz that he'd like to play Stu Redman.
