The Dark Tower has potential to be a classic film. If the director makes the right cuts.
I want to see mid world on the big screen
I truly enjoy my books because no one can ever change what's written on their pages.
Ok...
I like touch screen! Especially when the batteries in my mouse start to get low!I hate touch screen
Yep, that was funny.Remember this one, blunt?
"Joyland gets good on page 45.........."
Still one of the funniest things I've seen here.........
Welcome to the board. I am one of those who prefer that my favorite story be left in print and not adapted to the big screen. Sai King gifted us this story, but it is ultimately his to do with as he wishes. I would not presume to tell him what he should or should not do with it. Should a Dark Tower movie/mini-series be produced, I have the choice of whether or not to see it. I would probably see it because curiosity would kill me if I didn't. If it turned out that I was disappointed, (as I was with The Shining) it would not make me love the story any less. Have a good day.
I think on the whole, Stephen has (mostly) been happy with the adaptations from his work. I certainly wouldn't call him 'beaten'. He is very open minded and likes to see what others will do with his work.Thanks for the welcomes.
To address 91rewoT,
I tend to look at it from how King's work may be perceived and then developed in later television/movie projects. I see a man beaten by a number of unfortunate adaptions that didn't get it right. Perhaps I'm wrong, I hope I am.
On a side note, having Ron Howard gunning for DT gives me hope it could work out. I'm excited many of his works are seeing television/movie play!
"I truly enjoy my books because no one can ever change what's written on their pages."
That's fine if you don't enjoy visual media. If you do, compromising your work leads to lesser future products.
