It has been annouced that JJ Abrams has optioned the rights to the greatest fantasy series ever: "The Dark Tower" by Stephen King. This could mean us Dark Tower geeks will get the movie event of our lives ala "Lord of the Rings".
It's a touchy subject tough adaptaion to be sure. 7 books packed full of dimension crossing, magic, guns, sex, demons, wizards, gunslingers, and a journey to the Tower that does not have aperfect hollywood ending. It will be a difficult job, and we probably won't see it for a while. More difficult still? Casting this monster. We all have our wishes and desires as to who should play the central characters of. So here is my cast wishes for the core of the Dark Tower movies:
Roland's Ka Tet
Eddie Dean
Joseph Gordon Levitt
Detta Walker/Odetta Holmes/Susannah Dean
Rosario Dawson
Jake Chambers
Cameron Bright
and finally...the big enchilada. Roland, the Last Gunslinger. Roland, Son of Steven.
Roland Deschain
The Gunslinger
Sean Bean
This is just the main cast. There are so many other people to cast in this film. It's exciting to know we're getting something be it TV or Film and that JJ Abrams, a great talent, is involved.
What are your thoughts?
