I'm sick about Carnivale being cut. I watched that junk from day one, and even though we didn't know where it was going for awhile, it started to all pay off in season 2, and just as things were building up, BAM. Peace. Carnivale is RIP.
It was Dale Cooper looking in the mirror all over again.
I would love to see a DT series no HBO or Showtime. It can't be on basic cable stations like lost. (I love Lost. Let the final 48 begin!)
I don't think I agree with the television format, although I will say that the Stand was very well done and enjoyed it very much. The TV series is as epic as the book was. And I think thats the key, being EPIC. So if and when this movie is done it needs to be a trilogy, much like LOTR - two and a half three hours long each. If it's going to be a single movie I just cant imagine it working out and being decent.

I got the cute one, my woman
She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing

Right, I see your point. But it would be seven, instead of three?
Three?
Way too short if you ask me.
Roland would have understood.
I think you could probably do it in 4, but they would have to be 3 - 3 1/2 hours each.

I would personally like to see it in the 7 movie-7 book format
I wouldn't be able to get enough, so I'd want long movies
thats just me though
7 would be a feat. Thats a project. Not a lot of people can take that on. I hear what your saying, it would be nice as nothing would be missed, hopefully.

I am with you, Storyslinger. 7 books 7 movies.
But for my part I don't think I would like to see it as a movie at all.
But... if ever it's going to become a movie I wouldn't like to see the most important details and parts fall into Todash because of the short time.
Roland would have understood.
I'll do it

What about HP?
Roland would have understood.
They haven't done all 7 HP movies yet, and if they don't get on it soon Daniel Radcliffe will be old enough to retire.

Naaa, they'll just cryogenically freeze him
Daghain is exactly right. They are only on 5 (? I stopped at 3) so far and a lot can happen. I didn't say it cant be done, just that not many can do it. Thats a huge commitment to the utmost.

I think the HP actors look the ages they play. Can you seriously see the difference between a 15 year old and almost 17 year old? Puh-lease!
Seven Dark Tower movies would be the shit! Oh, I can loan you that billion Storyslinger....as long as I get final say on cuts and edits.
Harry Potter is all signed and in preproduction. half blood comes out 11/o8 and deathly hallows comes out in 2010.
The hardest part about doing the dark tower movie in seven movies, imo, is jake. and if they don't get jake right, i will freak out.
just fyi.

Plus, DT has no where near the world wide hype that HP does. Each book can support a movie because of it's unbelievably large fan base.

Yeah, Jake would be hard...in that case, they would have to freeze him to not age so much.
I've already started. 'the man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed''. Nah, that is shit. Walter ran from Roland and he followed across the desert makes more sense.
The only reason why Harry Potter is a movie for every book is because it's a world-wide phenomenom which is GUARANTEED to make the studios lots of money. While the Dark Tower's fan-base is strong it is still limited. Especially now with the release of book seven and two more movies to come out Harry Potter fans still have something new to look forward to for at least three or four years. I can't believe they're pumping out these movies as fast as they are.
I think they could do two movies out of books 4,5,&6 if they hooked it just right.
but, personally, i would never like the books made into a movie.
I think they should do it as a computer animation.

Skolpadda~YES
MonteGss~Of course, I sent you my bank account #
Skol has it - DT doesn't have NEAR the fan base HP does, which would make it hard to get 7 movies out there and make money, which, of course, is the desired result.

True, it isn't as wide based, but you have to admit, DT fans are pretty hardcore, I mean, look at us
You won't get an argument from me about that!

I agree with you to an extent here Storyslinger. Though Firefly had some pretty serious, hardcore fans and were able to get a movie made after the show being canceled. The movie "failed" partly because the hardcore fans are not enough to keep a franchise/idea going. You have to be able to pull more people in.
