The Varity Fair magazine published an interview with the creators of the mini-series on the novel Stephen King "confrontation". It is planned that the premiere of the first episodes of the series will take place this year, but there is no accurate date.
The novel, published in 1978, is considered one of the best works of the writer. It tells how the deadly dangerous strain of influenza, which kills most of the fallen sick, escaped. And as the epidemic survived the epidemic, they are trying to restore civilization. The writer in an interview said that in the series there will be an ending, different from the plot of the novel, he himself wrote a new version of history for this series.
On comparing the events in his book with the current pandemic King says:
Of course, when you hear about the death of 100 or 240 thousand people, then you understand, to what extent seriously. The economy stopped completely. When you look at the photos from Times Square, then they involuntarily think: "And the truth, as in the" confrontation "." But at the same time, the streets are not yet clogged with abandoned machines, and people do not shoot each other.
Vanity journalists recalled readers that after King gave this interview, people began to go to anticariate rallies with arms in their hands, and the guard in the Family Dollar store was killed for asking the client to wear a protective mask.
Showranners of the series are Benjamin Cavell and Taylor Ellmor. They said that the events in the series will develop nonlinearly. The world will be focused on the world after the disaster, and about the beginning of the epidemic will be told in flash stakes. The main characters will be the leaders of the two groups of survivors - Randall Flegg (Alexander Skarsgard / Man in Black) and Mother Abagigel (Wüpi Goldberg). Cavell speaks of the main idea of the series:
We are talking about fundamental questions about the fact that society must man and that we have to each other. For many years, we perceived democracy as something of granted. It is interesting to show a story about people who recreate it from scratch, after the catastrophe will completely destroy this idea.
