"The story of the movie actually continues the one from the books rather than directly adapting one of them, and follows Idris Elba's The Gunslinger, Roland Deschain, who roams an Old West like and post apocalyptic landscape where "the world has moved on" in pursuit of the man in black played by Matthew McConaughey. Also searching for the fabled and powerful Dark Tower, in the hopes that reaching it will preserve his dying world. Located in the End World, amid a sea of singing red roses, the Dark Tower is a link to other worlds and a bridge in the time space continuum. The studio is envisioning this as a movie trilogy with two seasons of a TV series in between the films" link YouTube link Looks good!

Sweet! "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." |

One of the great things about the "The Dark Tower" series was its complex, flawed characters, evocative landscapes and truly mythic backstory. I just hope the film adaptation doesn't turn it into some kind of non-stop action thriller like Peter Jackson's truly disappointing "Hobbit" trilogy.
Will be interesting to see how they handle the Deus ex machina element, for which King took a fair amount of criticism over.
That, and the ending, which I for one had no problem with. |

In the books Roland carried Rugers. In the trailer he has Remmies. Hmmmm… |
