Matthew McConaughey as Roland Deschain in DARK TOWER?!

Is this news? It seems like his name's been bandied about before, or was that for THE STAND? Anyway, what do you guys think of this?

I like any really good actor who has more of a masculine than feminine side in the role.

Oh God, no.

Might as well bring up Beiber as Jake thread again.

beetlejuice. beetlejuice.

Since SK's Facebook page has a link to an article saying McConaughey's up for Flagg, I think we should probably take that as the actual news. Hehehe. What does it say if McConaughey could convincingly play Roland, Flagg, and Stu Redman? Is he that versatile of an actor or are they all similar characters?

Oh God, no.

Might as well bring up Beiber as Jake thread again.

Please God, anyone but Bieber for Jake.

Ick. He looks like someone's granny, if that someone was a lizard. Ick.

 

[TrueGeneration]

Meh.

And that's all I gotta say about that

I just HOPE they don't screw up the casting of Eddie and Roland.

I guess he could play the bongos and smoke weed while he foretold Roland's future with a deck of tarot cards....then for S&G he could drive everyone to the Dark Tower in his Lincoln SUV.....

Hmmm, I dunno. I love me some Mr. McConaughey. I could see him as Eddie maybe but not really Walter. But maybe, he's intense and borderline crazy.

Y'all really don't like my boy Matt? but I could look at him all day long. Every day. All the days. And think unspeakable things about him. He's dreamy. He's like a young Marlon Brando and Paul Newman whirled together with a dash of James Dean crazy.

Walter or Jack Mort, maybe. Not Roland.

 

[HollyGolightly]

Walter or Jack Mort, maybe. Not Roland.

Oh, I missed the part about him being Roland. Yeah, not Roland. I read that he's being considered as Walter. Roland needs someone else.

I liked him in Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.
He can be menacing.

You have a way of stating things that is just plain hilarious.

I thought it said that he was being offered the role of the villain, aka Walter? Meh. I don't know. It's not a terrible choice, and he'd probably find it easy to do just after playing Flagg in The Stand (which I do think he is perfect for).
