Bright Eyes members scored new ‘The Stand’ adaptation Stephen King epic post-apocalyptic novel The Stand begins airing today (12/17) on streaming service CBS All Access. The nine-episode limited series stars James Marsden (Stu Redman), Whoopi Goldberg (Mother Abagail), and the score was composed by two members of Bright Eyes: Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott. Both have extensive discographies beyond their work with Bright Eyes, and they've composed a score together before, too, for the 2014 film adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars. With a very contagious and deadly pandemic, known as Captain Tripps, as one of its main focuses, The Stand feels more relevant than ever in 2020, although how this adaptation will rank against the 1994 ABC adaptation starring Gary Sinise, Adam Storke, Molly Ringwald, Rob Lowe, Miguel Ferrer, Laura San Giacomo, Jamey Sheridan, and others remains to be seen. You can watch the trailer below.
