'The Stand': Inside That Massive Change From Stephen King's Novel James Minchin/CBS CBS All Access' 'The Stand' Executive producer Benjamin Cavell speaks with The Hollywood Reporter about a critical structural difference between the CBS All Access thriller and the original book on which it's based.
