That alarming sound you just heard was the sound of about a billion Stephen King fans' heads exploding.

We're scared to even type the words, for fear it may jinx the whole thing, but here it goes: Stephen King's "The Stand" is going to be adapted for the big screen as a co-production between Warner Bros. and CBS Films, according to Heat Vision.

No, the real wonder is that it has taken over a quarter of a century for Hollywood to decide they needed to do a remake.
Well, that wait is finally over, as Variety is reporting that Universal Studios and the De Laurentiis production company have given the greenlight to a new version of "Firestarter" -- and this time they're hoping to turn it into a franchise. Get More »
