The Dark Tower

[R-V]

There used to be a thread about these books somewhere. This sounds crazy:

The plan is to start with the feature film, and then create a bridge to the second feature with a season of TV episodes. That means the feature cast—and the big star who'll play Deschain—also has to appear in the TV series before returning to the second film. After that sequel is done, the TV series picks up again, this time focusing on Deschain as a young gunslinger. Those storylines will be informed by a prequel comic book series that King was heavily involved in plotting. The third film would pick up the mature Deshain as he completes his journey. They will benefit from being able to use the same sets cast and crew for the movie and TV, which could help contain costs on what will be a financially ambitious undertaking.

Awesome.  Thanks for the heads-up.  It's a shame that Clint Eastwood is too damn old to play Roland now.

I always kinda thought the old Carradine dude would make an alright Roland.  I think he's probably too old now, also, though.

And smelly too, I'd imagine.

I bet he would choke up if he got the part.

I bet he'd masturbate in a closet while cutting off the oxygen to his brain, if you catch my meaning.

Mind. Blown.
