"David Kajganich has joined The Stand as screenwriter. The Blood Creek writer is working on a Ben Affleck-directed adaptation of Stephen King&amp;#039;s epic apocalypse novel for Warner Bros, reports Vulture. Kajganich was apparently brought to Affleck&amp;#039;s attention by his work on a forthcoming adaptation of King&amp;#039;s legendary, clown-based horror story It. The Stand tells the story of a world ravaged by a biological weapon, in which the survivors wage war in a final battle between good and evil. Kajganich previously worked on Nicole Kidman&amp;#039;s 2007 outbreak film The Invasion. The Stand was adapted into a four-episode television miniseries penned by King in 1994. Originally aired on ABC, its ensemble cast included Rob Lowe, Gary Sinise (Apollo 13, CSI: New York), Molly Ringwald (The Breakfast Club) and basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The new movie version of The Stand is currently in development with a target release date of 2013.
