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?
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.....
Oh yeah, I like him as an actor, I was just combining all his roles as far as bongos, smoking weed, and the Lincoln SUV thing..lolDon't forget -- Roland took mescaline before communing with the Oracle.
He's a very good actor -- check him out in Dallas Buyer's Club to see his range. He could definitely do this.

No apology required.Oh, sorry, blunthead, I shared the same link you did earlier!
I also liked him in Frailty ..
I don't see any pretty actor as Roland unless they shadow and otherwise hide his face the whole time. The ideal choice for Roland would be Clint Eastwood from 35 years ago, but I say that probably because that's how I pictured him from the start with The Gunslinger.I also liked him in Frailty .. well.. I actually like him in everything.. and yes.. he has a purty mouth! GNTLGNT
....exactly, and that's why the look is so important....Clint's boy looks a ton like him...don't know if he can act worth a lick though....When I was reading The Stand and The Dark Tower, I couldn’t help but picture McConaughey there each time Flagg appeared, with his smirk and easy charm. Timothy Olyphant would probably be a decent Flagg, too.
Whoever is cast as Roland is going to piss off a lot of King fans. King basically describes him as Clint Eastwood, and Eastwood is too old to play that role.
