And who knows what movie tickets might cost by the time they're finished?

HitFix reported last week that Warner Bros. has nearly finalized a deal that would have David Yates (the director of the last four Harry Potter movies) and Steve Kloves (the screenwriter for all but one of them) re-team up to create a multi-movie version of Stephen King's The Stand.

While this is the kind of movie I might ordinarily see, I'm not sure I can face the prospect of waiting multiple years and shelling out 20 or 30+ dollars to finish it.
