Universal to produce three films and TV series based on Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower'

Can’t wait, I’ve always been a fan of Mr King’s work always contains powerful descriptive pictures but I feel the dark tower seires stands alone as a hark back to the wordsmiths of legend and in my humble opinion the 7 books can be matched only by Tolken himself. My only concern is that the true spirit of Roland and his quest may not transport into film. Having said this I’m waiting with baited breath. I believe “song for” will be butcheted

I think Hugh Laurie or Thomas Haden Church would be a choice for Roland. Maybe the Matthew Lillard from Scream could play Eddie

Josh Holloway = ROLAND

I can not even begin to dip my toes into the imaginary casting pool of The Dark Tower… Truth be told the idea of this whole endevor (Movies/tv series) scares me! I can not count the # of times that I have read these books and so when I begin to even TRY to wrap my head around bring to life this EPIC adventure to life, I can not see it being done in a way that could come CLOSE to doing it any justice! (*spoilers!!) How do you bring Andy to life with out making him look like the freaking tin man? Or make Oy, a character that I can SEE in my own minds eye, look realistic enough to believe in? Will they show Susanna’s rescue of Jake from the Sucubus and the creation of Mordred?? will we get to see the other “when” as they pass through the city that was ravaged by the “Captain Tripps”? The books are incredibly detailed and stretch so far beyond the 7 books… how will those who have never read the books get the same joy excitement that I always got seeing a whole different story spill into this one? Father Callahan jumping out of the “When” of Salem’s Lot. But it seems that the powers that be are going to try to make it happen and I hope that they read the books passionately and the pick our dear Mr. King’s brain as much and as often as possible… he said in a recent interview that when he wrote Susanna he always thought of Angela Basset and I thought: “what a trip that’s who I always saw in my head.” I do have a casting suggestion for a character from book 7… Perhaps Stephen King would consider the role of Stephen King??
