Casting is underway for CBS All Access's 10-episode adaptation of Stephen King‘s post-apocalyptic epic "The Stand," with some big names reportedly close to g on the dotted line.

James Marsden (Teddy Flood  on "Westworld") will play Stu Redman, the first man who's immune to the virus that's ravaged the planet. He eventually becomes the leader who confronts the evil Randall Flagg. Gary Sinise memorably played Stu in the 1994 ABC miniseries.

According to Collider, here's who's currently in various stages of negotiations for other key roles:

• Laura San Giacomo played Nadine in 1994.

•  Ruby Dee originated the character.

• Ray Walston in the ABC miniseries.

• Molly Ringwald played her in the 1994 miniseries.

• Rob Lowe played him in 1994.

Josh Boone ("The Fault in Our Stars") and Ben Cavell ("SEAL Team") adapted King's novel and Boone will also direct and produce.

"I’m excited and so very pleased that 'The Stand' is going to have a new life on this exciting new platform,” King said earlier this year. "The people involved are men and women who know exactly what they’re doing; the scripts are dynamite. The result bids to be something memorable and thrilling. I believe it will take viewers away to a world they hope will never happen."

No names were mentioned to play the villainous Flagg, who was played by Jamey Sheridan in the 1994 miniseries.

A representative for CBS All Access refused comment to Collider on this casting list.
