Elba is a great actor but I just can't see him as Roland. Even moreso after reading some of the books and comics Sad



1 and 2 are still amazing.

Filming began a short while ago.

Stephen King has teased that the movie might be taking place after the books which would explain why what they are doing with the movie doesn't look like an adaptation of book 1. https://twitter.com/StephenKing/status/733244613000069120

Those that have read the last book know what that means. The others, well, don't search it if you don't want to spoil it!

Elba in costume:





TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

Isn't Roland described as being a Clint Eastwood, man with no name, sort of looking character with steel blue eyes, isn't he also called honky by a character in one of the books? For a character whose relationships with other characters is to a certain degree based around racial dynamics, it seems weird to cast elba as Roland, will he still be called a honky? Very Happy


His also described as thin with slender hips. Not really Elba either. Poor choice of actor. What a shame.

I'm not spoiler-tagging it this time as it's now officially confirmed as part of the PR:

The movie is a sequel to the books.

“The hardcore fans of The Dark Tower series will know that this is actually a sequel to the books in a way,” Arcel says. “It has a lot of the same elements, a lot of the same characters, but it is a different journey.”

Can't fucking wait!


Given how true books end, doing it this way makes sense. They can keep the good from 8 books and ditch the bad.

They had better keep Blaine the mono

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

What a dissapointment. Tbh looks like shit already.

Even if it's a sequel neglecting the mid world and making it play out in our world/time takes away much of the "magic" that made the books great in the first place.

Rip


P.s.: At least we got Westworld to ease our pain.

I'm not familiar with the books, but judging from the concept and crew involved it does sound intriguing indeed Smile

Looks okay to me.

What's with the dumb addition of the kid though? Adds only unnecessary drama and annoyances.

The kid is a main character in the books. They could have technically removed him from the story, since the movie isn't an accurate retelling of the books but rather a mirrored version/alternate universe version of them. Still, due to how large a part he plays in the original story, it makes sense they would keep Jake. Even if I do find kids super annoying in movies.

@Kanint
Didn't know he is important in the books.
But i agree they should have left him out. The main reason they added him is probably just to cater to a wider audience anyways.

Or you know, being a character to whom (like the audience) things are explained to instead of just using narration.
