I like Idris, thought he was brilliant as Luther in the TV series of the same name but to me he is not Roland and I will struggle to watch and reconcile what I have as my vision of Roland with what is on the screen in front of me. Also so many things are going to have to be changed to fit this major change in.
Elba's Casting CONFIRMED?!!

I got a big kick out of this Twitter stream:
Awesome tweets!
I know many will break out the pitch forks and torches but I am so down for this.
Just thinking about Elba and McConaughey - two of the top 10 actors working today -
playing two awesome characters, facing off turns my knees to jelly! Bring it on!!!

I guess the DT movie is going to be a reversal of what normally occurs with CR- Book read/ "adaption" made/ disapproval that the adaption was not the book.
Scenario -- those who have never read the DT journey........
DT movie watched/ interest perked about the book(s)/ book (s) read/ disapproval that the book(s) had nothing to do with the motion picture. They read no further. A journey not taken. Sad.

The man in black fled from the movie theater, and the Gunslinger didn't blame him.
Mark my words.....
The Crimson King has his hand in this.

....*sigh*, just let the Tower fall, and the Can'-Ka No Rey wither and die....the farce is complete.......
You say true, and I say thank ya.
Wow. You know, it's seems A LOT of us 'constant readers' are pretty miffed about all these pointless changes.
Way to alienate a loyal fanbase, Hollyweird.

This news SUCKS. I do not look forward to this. Oh-well, its not like we are used to getting great King movies, might as well F this up too. But like King always says, the books are still there, the words are the same. Enjoy.
I wonder if King sometimes longs for the days before the internet... When fans actually had to wait until after the movie came out in order to be disappointed? 
If he doesn't, his staff does.I wonder if King sometimes longs for the days before the internet... When fans actually had to wait until after the movie came out in order to be disappointed?
LOLIf he doesn't, his staff does.
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."
Who's Rod?
I just have a sneaking suspicion that those involved with this *cough* adaptation *cough* have bits of fur showing around the edges of their jawlines.
At the very least, when this is all said and done, and it has tanked worse than Josh Tranks Fantastic Four reboot, King will have enough source material for more Dark Tower books. This time around, after Roland and Eddie get King off his lazy *** to finish the story, they must travel to Hollywood to stop the forces of the Crimson King from butchering said story. I've already played out a beautiful scene in my mind, where our two beloved heroes storm the production offices to take out the low men in yellow coats.
One can dream.

It makes no sense to me. No sir, I don't like it. If it's on TV in the future and I can see it for free then I'll definitely check it out but I would not pay to see a movie called 'The Dark Tower' that is very loosely based on a Stephen King novel. I think I'll just make my own Dark Tower movies and sell them to real fans in the underground (I'll put a tithe aside for Mr. King once the ugly lawsuit breaks open)! I did like hearing that he sold the movie rights for $19 dollars. Very cool.
Oh, yeah. I think Jordan should be getting combat pay for having to moderate the SK Facebook page today....feels that way huh?.....
May be not. May be it is still unbroken. This mighty crystal ball could be strong enough to "survive" such catastrophe.
