Fans of Stephen King have surely read his popular work, The Stand. Some of you may have even seen the TV miniseries of the same name that was based on the book and aired in 1994. But to this date, a movie adaptation has never existed.

It’s been announced that Warner Brothers and CBS Films are teaming up to bring The Stand to a theater near you with the first feature film adaptation of King’s novel. The studios will develop and produce the movies together while WB will handle all of the marketing and distribution efforts. CBS will also have the option to co-finance the movie, as well.

At the moment, no talent is attached to the project, and it’s unclear what King’s involvement in the development might be (though he is expected to take part). It’s planned everyone will chat with potential writers and directors in the coming weeks to determine who will face the arduous tasks of adapting the 823-page book (or perhaps the 1,141-page uncut version?) into a 120-150-minute movie, and who will put it all to screen competently.

A brand new red band trailer for the new action/thriller from CBS Films, The Mechanic, has been released to the masses.

The movie stars Jason Statham as a deadly assassin who uses incredibly meticulous methods to get the job done better and more efficiently than all others, and Ben Foster as the son of Statham’s slain friend who comes to him in hopes of learning his father’s trade from the best there is.

The Mechanic is directed by Simon West (Con Air, Laura Croft: Tomb Raider), and also stars Donald Sutherland, Tony Goldwyn, Jeff Chase, and Mini Anden.

All-in-all, it looks like this could be a lot of fun if you’re into fast and violent action flicks, and you can get a real taste of what to expect by continuing on below to read a full synopsis and watch the RED BAND trailer now! As always, this trailer is of the very NSFW variety. You’ve been warned!

President and Chief Executive Officer of CBS Films, Amy Baer has officially announced that Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser will star in the first project being produced through CBS Films, currently being referred to as The Untitled Crowley Project.

Robert Nelson Jacobs (Chocolat) wrote the script and the movie will be directed by Tom Vaughan (What Happens in Vegas). The movie is based on a Wall Street Journal article that eventually became a book by Geeta Anand called The Cure.

Below is a description of the project:
