What's left behind the scenes

The miniseries is based on Stephen King's novel "The Stand" (1978).
Stephen King himself played one of the characters in the film.
The novel "The Stand" (1978) grew out of Stephen King's short story "Night Surf," published in the collection "Night Shift" (1978). In 2002, director Peter Sullivan filmed a short film of the same name based on this story.
Initially, the adaptation of Stephen King's novel "The Stand" was planned as a feature film to be directed by horror maestro George A. Romero. Stephen King wrote several synopsis drafts, attempting to fit the events of his large-scale work into a standard film runtime. When the author was unable to do so, it was decided to divide the adaptation into two separate films. Rospo Pallenberg – incidentally, a co-writer of Nikita Mikhalkov’s film "The Barber of Siberia" (1998) – was to write the screenplay. However, before the project was launched into production, Stephen King received an offer to adapt the novel as a television miniseries. This would allow for the preservation of more events from the book, which prompted the author to accept the offer – and the film project was shut down.
The role of Randall Flagg was initially offered to actor Jeff Goldblum, but he declined the offer.
Christopher Walken and Willem Dafoe were also considered as candidates for the role of Randall Flagg.
The role of Judge Richard Farris was intended for actor Moses Gunn, but he was forced to decline due to health problems (Moses Gunn died of asthma on December 16, 1993).
In the novel, Ray Flowers is a man. In the film, this character became a woman – played by Kathy Bates (uncredited).
Most of the film was shot in the soundstages of the old Osmond Studios in Orem, Utah.
Mother Abigail's farm and the cornfield were entirely created in the studio soundstages.
To create the set for Mother Abigail's farm, a large, real tree and tons of dirt, grass, and sod were brought to the set. The sky was painted on backdrops that surrounded the set on all sides.
Originally, real corn stalks were ordered for the creation of the cornfield, which were flown to Osmond Studios from Florida. However, by the time the stalks arrived on set, they were already dead and unusable for filming. In place of these heroically deceased stalks, an entire field of artificial corn was made, costing approximately $80,000.
Randall Flagg’s Las Vegas penthouse was also a set, completely built on the studio lot. The marble walls and floors were actually made of particle board and painted to look like marble.
The episode in the corridor of the famous Plaza casino was actually filmed in the corridor of the no less famous Stardust casino.
The Las Vegas hotel-casino where Randall Flagg and his henchmen settle is a recreation of the 'Beefy's' hotel-casino from the alternate 1985 in the film 'Back to the Future Part II' (1989).
The radio host in Arnette mentions the song by Katy Kaymen Goldmark, who is the founder of the rock band 'Rock Bottom Remainders', composed of writers, one of whose members is Stephen King.
Randall Flagg mentions that he appointed someone named Russ Dorr as responsible for the reconnaissance mission. Russ Dorr is a friend of Stephen King from Maine; King's novel 'Pet Sematary' begins with a dedication to Russ Dorr.
The cane that appears with Stuart Redman in the film's finale is the same as the cane used by André Linoge in the miniseries 'The Storm of the Century' (1999), directed from an original screenplay by Stephen King.
According to the script, the film takes place in 95 different locations across 19 states.
The film was shot in 6 states over 100 filming days.
The film features over 125 speaking roles.
The film has 6 hours of screen time and over 4 and a half hours of music.
