'Marilyn Manson will soon fear the wrath of Captain Trips. In a new interview with Revolver, the veteran rocker confirmed his involvement with CBS All Access’ forthcoming miniseries adaptation of Stephen King’sThe Stand.
“Shooter [Jennings} and I did a cover of ‘The End’ by the Doors for a new miniseries ofThe Standby Stephen King, ” he shared, adding, “which I’m also going to be acting in.”
“The End” makes sense, and could possibly play over the introduction, similar to the way Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper” did in Mick Garris’ 1994 miniseries adaptation. However, who could Manson be playing? It’s unlikely he’ll be musician Larry Underwood. Doubtful he’s Randall Flagg. Maybe the Monster Shouter? Hmm.
What we do know is that the rumored cast turned out to be true: James Marsden will play Stu Redman, Amber Heard will play Nadine Cross, Whoopi Goldberg will play Mother Abigail, Greg Kinnear will play Glen Bateman, Odessa Young will play Frannie Goldsmith, and Henry Zaga will play Nick Andros.' more via COS
