Seriously, how many end of the world scenarios do you know of that hinge on the flu ? and involve millenialist religion ?

also military style blood red stencils are suggestive..

The Stand is another great book, but given the track record for adapting my fav SK books (shivers at thought of Dreamcatcher)... Now I'm scared...

The Stand was less about the Bible and more about opposing, divine forces. There might have been a couple of Bible passages in there, but when I hear "The Stand," I don't think "Bible" and God and Satan. I think Flagg and Mother Abagail.

Watching. If it's about The Stand, I'm in.

Trying not to get my hopes up for something relating to "The Stand"....but I figure with 498 days, I've got time to prepare myself. I'm on board.

Ooo... if this is about "The Stand," I'm in. Though it's been about 10 years since I read it in high school. *digs through her library to find the book*
~500 days should give me plenty of time to reread it. Smile

And even if it's not, I'm in. Sounds like it will be good.

Now, I'm not saying this at all to get anyone excited. At all. Because I really don't think this has anything to do with The Stand's universe. But, JJ Abrams is making movies out of The Dark Tower, and Captain Trips did occur in one part of that series.

I don't see Abrams starting a 500 day countdown though, because that's a hell of a long time to keep people excited.

Dark Tower being made into a movie = scares the crap out of me
J.J. Abrams chosen to make that movie = just a tiny bit less scary
