Nope, don't read as much as I thought I guess.  Must be something in a genre I don't explore...

Probably not.  Stephen King's "The Stand".

On the other hand, I'd miss anything and everything related to Heinlin; never got around to him.

Ahh, indeed, don't read anything in the horror genre, well, not since I was a wee lad reading Mary Shelley.

From the wikipedia entry for The Stand:

Quote
In January 2011, it was announced that Warner Bros. and CBS Films will be developing a feature length film adaptation of The Stand.[10] There is currently no official release date. In July 2011 it was reported that the film may be a trilogy, and that David Yates is considering directing.[11] On August 10, Warner Bros. has finalized the deal for Yates and Harry Potter screenwriter Steve Kloves to re-team for a multi-movie version of The Stand.[12] However, in October of 2011, it was reported that both Yates and Kloves had left the project due to Yates feeling the project would work better as a miniseries and that actor/direcor Ben Affleck was Warner Bros. new choice for the project.
