Hi everyone, first time iv posted, but long time SK fan, the long walk was my first SK adventure, and it's probably still my favorite.......I, as well as you, recently found out that Idris Elba has been confirmed as the gunslinger in the upcoming epic story that is the dark tower...........now I wasn't best pleased with this choice of casting..........I'm not racist and I am probably , ignorantly un PC without really meaning to be, bit I couldn't see it working........however, I have recently watched Luther......and he is a top actor and I'm warming to the idea of him as Roland......if it was up to me it would be Guy Pearce, or Viggo, but like I say I can see Idris doing a good job.......anyone else agree ??
yep must admit i was torn apart when i heard "Idris Elba" got the gun-slinger part, turned me off straight away its not the book is it i thought.But after seeing him in the trailers he does fit the part, and now just seen the movie he does a good job in it, pitty mr king never wrote roland has a coloured man, many more of us would have excepted him better.
