Warner Bros. wants Matthew McConaughey to play Randall Flagg

Having won an Oscar earlier this year for his very first nomination (for Dallas Buyers Club) and with a possible Emmy coming his way next Monday (for HBO's "True Detective")--not to mention his starring role in Christopher Nolan's anticipated outer space epic Interstellar--actor Matthew McConaughey is clearly going to be in bigger demand than ever, and Deadline has word on two of his potential upcoming projects.
Nothing is official yet but according to them, Warner Bros. wants McConaughey to play the role of the demonic figure Randall Flagg in the feature film adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand, which will be directed by Josh Boone (The Fault in our Stars).
Flagg has been a recurring character in much of King's work, sometimes appearing in different guises, but he first appeared in his 1978 novel "The Stand" and then became the primary antagonist of his serialized "The Dark Tower" (which also has been in development to become a feature film or serialized television show). Jamey Sheridan played the role of the character in the 1994 television mini-series directed by Mick Garris, and Flagg has been brought to the comics in recent years with Marvel adaptations of both King works.

They'll have to cut the source material down big time

He would be a perfect Flagg.
Never thought about him, but it's a great casting choice.

He's a solid actor. Had some lows, but when he shines, he shines.
One that doesn't get talked about much, is his performance in reign of fire. Thought he did a good job stepping away from his normal.

That'd be pretty cool.

Will it be one movie? Seems like it would be pretty tough to cut it down to fit in one film.
McConaughey would be great as Flagg.

I can see him in that role.
I agree with those who say it would be really difficult to fit that book in one movie though.
