For those familiar with the books by Stephen King.
J.J. Abrams has apparently dropped out of the project in fear of screwing up the film. Now, Ron Howard is suppose to be on board.
Anyone know anything more than this?

Last rumors were that Roland would be C. Bale. I think it should be Hugh Jackman.
- It should actually be Clint Eastwood from 45 years ago.– monospaced1/4
  Viggo maybe...or that guy who played Sawyer on Lost. I dunno.– monospaced2/4
  Viggo maybe.. I never saw Roland as anyone other than Clint TBH.– d_rek3/4
  I'll throw this out there - Caveziel?– d_rek4/4

Fuck. A movie?
I'm an incredibly huge fan of the books. But I could never see them getting adapted to the big screen without getting really screwed up.
*sigh*

I think it could make a pretty cool movie.
You know what else they should make (or remake I guess) is The Stand.

It'll probably be massacred as typical, but you gotta try, right? If they are good then they'd be something worth it, if they are more than 'good', then that would be something (I'll be the first one is good, then the next 2-3 suck progressively worse as they crank them out to make the cash).
Still, there is potential.

There's enough there for more than a movie. More like a series.
- not if ron howad is directing - he'll kill any chance it has. awful, awful director– hans_glib1/3
  are you kidding, what about Willow?– rascuache2/3

How can you condense something the size of The Dark Tower series into a movie (or series of movies like the Harry Potter series)? There are so many layers, too much would have to be cut. Now an HBO series would be kick-ass. One season per book. That could possibly do it justice.
- Possibly. But then we have the potential for the show to get cut in season 5 when they start time traveling to NY.– d_rek

I wouldn't mind if they cut out a ton of the cheesy time-traveling. Reading Stephen King is one of my guilty-pleasures, but when he wrote himself into the story even I had to roll my eyes. Cut out some of the backstories behind his companions (in all honesty, they're borderline useless) and it can be brought down to maybe 1,738,548 hours.
- lol– exador11/4
  Totally agree with writing himself into novel. Time traveling shit is totally retarded as well. Should have kept the entire story in gilead / future wasteland.– d_rek2/4
  gilead / wasteland.– d_rek3/4
  but you have to have the heroin/airplane scene.– HijoDMaite4/4

It's a relief to see a director actually admit they will fuck something up for once, instead of going full steam ahead and acting as if they made the best film adaptation possible.
- Like The Hobbit?– monospaced

"This latest development in the DT saga is being reported by the Heat Vision Blog, who tells us that Howard is teaming up with Brian Grazer and Akiva Goldsman to produce an initial Big Screen movie that would then lead on to a TV series. We could hazard a guess that if the television run became a huge success then they’d wrap the whole thing up with another movie release."
- that sounds terrible– d_rek

Of course its cheesy, doesn't mean its not awesome though. Anyways, I think Stephen King using himself fit the story rather well and helped make the whole thing more meaningful. No, its not as awesome as PKD in VALIS, but its a similar concept and in both cases serves the meaning of the story well.

Agreed. Respect for backing down because you feel you are incompatible.

I still think Hugh Jackman s/b Roland. It's worth noting that S.K. said himself he has never cared if they fuck up his movies, but the Dark Tower is his pride and joy. I guess the question is have CGIs caught up with the books.

Three movies, with a TV series in between each to bridge each film. Ron Howard directing first film and first TV series, Brian Grazer producing. I think we have a winner here!

any movie where stephen king makes a cameo is shit, the rest are good. prove me wrong
- You will be glad to know that according to him this is the only project he really cares about. The rest was for cash. He sold the rights to this movie for $19.– HijoDMaite
