Treat it like Game of Thrones and put it on Cable. Problem solved.
Check out Anthony Breznican’s full story about The Dark Tower’s fate here on Entertainment Weekly.
Looks like there is still a light at the end of the tunnel. IGN reports that "Media Rights Capital, the company behind Seth MacFarlane's Ted and Neill Blomkamp's Elysium, is now in serious talks with Imagine Entertainment to finance The Dark Tower"
There is still hope.
What ddiaz said, that was being reported yesterday why not included in the story.
I might have to give The Dark Tower another chance. I read the Gunslayer and it was the first Steven King book I didn't like so I never read any of the other ones. Maybe being older now I'll understand it better. Right now sombody got be hooked on Robert Jordon The Wheel of Time series. I'm on book six of fourteen right now. He can be like Steven King because these books are 800 pages or more. So it might be a while befor I get to it.
It's a great series and I really hope someone puts a little faith and money into it.
you never know the same thing happened with lord of the rings new line said yes to a trilogy and look at what happened to it. Im still keeping my hopes up for this. If they want to do a tv series too have a studio like fx or amc handle that part. they have done well for themselves- especially amc with shows like breaking bad and hell on wheels. and fx with sons of anarchy anger management and wilfred
Shellhead88: The first Gunslinger book does in fact suck...HOWEVER....The rest are great, just gotta get over the initial "Meh" of the first book. The Wheel of Time is super addictive until about book 7...then it's kind of like the X-Files...too many doors get opened, and lead nowhere.ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
I loved the first book but still havent made it past the 4th keeps putting me to sleep maybe someday ill finish the series.
I think in movie form, the Dark Tower would be better served as a trilogy. Not a seven part sprawl. I read the books. I loved them. But King has become a very puffy writer and they're loaded with padding and self-indulgence. Break the whole thing down to three movies, jettison a ton of the "epic sprawl" and I think you'd have a pretty amazing fantasy series. I know it wouldn't be a literal translation of the books, but if you want a literal translation... the books are always there for you.
