For those who are still upset about the changes that will be made I have a question. If Stephen published a book that took up where book 7 left off, one in which Roland has changed physically from who he was before and was on a new quest toward the Tower, would you read it? It wouldn't be the same story as you read the first time around, things would obviously be changed and new characters would undoubtedly be introduced. If you stop thinking of this as an exact adaptation (when has that ever happened?) of the books that have been published and think of it as a new level of the tower would you still be as upset?
No, but that isn't how this movie was projected. If that is the route they are taking, I expect that is how it should have been pitched to us. If that is what is going on, it will feel like a bait and switch. We would like to READ that new story by Stephen King and then see it translated to the screen. Right now what we have been waiting to see it the Dark Tower from the books that exist now. If this is, indeed, some sort of continuation/sequel, I wish they would just say that.
