Amidst a sea of negativity about the movie, here's a least a quick tidbit that gives me some hope for the TV series:
...
The ending was a big let down, I mean the very end ending. There's no mention of The Drawing or any future purpose or goal at all. We just get Roland asking Jake to come with him, but not for any...
This review caption made me laugh and cry a little at the same time:
The Dark Tower Review - What The Hell Happened?
Although it's very misleading because the reviewer hasn't even read the...
I think pretty much everyone here knew this was going to happen, but just didn't want to believe it.
I was trying to decide if I wanted to go to the early or late show tomorrow, but I don't see how I can pass on going to the 7:19 showing (the other one is 9:40).
But the budget is low - I would think this movie could do similar to John Wick 2 here, maybe $100 million. Remember there is some star power with McConaughey and to a lesser extent Elba.
These numbers seem a bit off. The DT budget seems relatively small, and there have only been four movies this year that have grossed 175 million or more. Are we saying most movies out there are...
DT does seem far more suited to an ongoing TV series, there's so much detail that will inevitably be skipped over when converting it to movie form. I wouldn't think a DT series would need a huge...
@GirlySteveDave - Not following you there. The ending can't be "altered" because it hasn't been written yet. The movie happens after the books.
Agreed. And I was just recently thinking about this too - anyone who is new to DT, and sees the movie first, the books are somewhat ruined for them. I mean, the story is still great, but they're...
Man, I thought after the trailer was finally released, there'd be a lot of discussion about it here.
Maybe it's somewhat telling that no one is saying much.
At the end of Book 7 he is dropped back into the Mohaine Desert where Book 1 started, but still, that doesn't mean things didn't change prior to that point.
It pretty much doesn't matter though because there's a whole new set of rules with the new movie.
I was just saying it sounded like Akiva was labeling anyone who disagreed with the casting of Elba as Roland as a racist. If that's not the case, then that's cool. I'd like to think I have the...
I watched the trailer several times last night - I don't know, it's only a trailer, and I understand we're on a different cycle than the books were in, but I'm still feeling underwhelmed by what I've...
Not immediately - 2 books later. That would be pretty tough to pull off here, with the kid aging and movies being filmed years apart.
They'll never kill Jake off, but that just seems wrong somehow. Even though it's a new "arc," that part was so important to the original book.
Trailer looks OK - there's lots of guns being...
I looked at the trailer/release gap for a couple of other big budget movies out now:
Kong Skull Island: Just under 4 months.
John Wick Chapter 2: 4 months.
The Great Wall: 6 1/2 months....
I saw in the IMDB listing they have someone cast in the role or Susan. Flashbacks? Man, this movie is going to have one seriously jumbled chronology. I wonder if they'll use the same actress for...
You'd think since it's getting released that late in the year anyway, they'd just push it back closer to Halloween time.
