HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- The rumors have been swirling for months. Matthew McConaughey as the demonic villain Randall Flagg in the big screen adaption of Stephen King's The Stand.
Now The Guardian is reporting it's a done deal. McConaughey will play Flagg in the four-movie post apocalyptic good versus evil epic. Flagg, a bad guy with supernatural powers, sets up a power base in Las Vegas after a virus escapes from a lab and plague devastates civilization.
