The Stand
After the world is in ruins, due to a man-made plague, a battle of literally Biblical proportions ensues.
Has Stephen King’s The Stand series shot the sequence of Stu Redmond waving goodbye to Frannie Goldsmith and setting off on foot from Boulder, Colorado, to Las Vegas to confront Randall Flagg aka the Dark Man?
The Stand series for CBS All-Access filmed in Port Coquitlam on Friday with James Marsden as Stu Redman, Odessa Young as Fannie Goldsmith, Greg Kinnear as Glen Bateman, Jovan Adepo as Larry Underwood and a canine actor as Kojak the dog.

Related: Stephen King to Write Last Episode of New Adaption of His Thriller The Stand.
Stephen King is writing the last episode of the new 10-episode adaption, with a new coda not found in his novel.
I’ve had an idea for the ending for The Stand for a long time. I was never really totally happy with the way it ended because the main characters, Stu and Fran, never talked about what happened to them after they left Boulder, Colorado., where the thing ends. And I always wondered about their trip back, and I had an idea. Josh came to me and said, ‘Would you be interested in writing a button episode for this thing?’ And I said, ‘Well, since you got Whoopi, you can get me.’” — Stephen King.
