    They could not pick an actor who looks less like Pimli if they tried.



    (Edit: Apparently he looks more 'cleaned up' on his IMDb page now but he's still a good-looking guy in his thirties.)

    Someone suggested John Goodman in another fancast and he'd have been perfect. John Carroll Lynch also comes to mind now that I think of it.

    Wow it change. It's now all about Blaine and their location moved from NYC to Topeka. I'm enjoying this.

    I'm guessing this a movie thing?
    I didn't think Walter/Flagg had anything to with that stuff.

    I am going to do my best to remain positive. I used to be so pissed and negative about movies when I heard casting and direction of story among other things UNTIL... The Dark Knight. I was the biggest hater on Ledger playing the Joker. It has since the day it came out been my 3rd favorite movie of all time.. because of his work. I will never judge a movie till I see it. Same with Ben playing Batman, as most were pissed and sour, I remained optimistic AND I think he is the best one we have gotten so far. I am beyond thrilled to see Affleck do his own stand alone Batman film. I think he is just a fantastic director. Ironically both examples are from the world of Batman but the Joker changed me and Ben's Batman was a very recent example. I really hope they do justice to Kings life's work. It deserves and commands it

    Agree with everything you said, Webstar!

    I too was hating on Ledger when he was cast - I even referred to the film as Brokeback Batman - but then the film was released and his performance shut my dumbass up.

    Won't pass judgement on this until the end credits roll.

    Well stated, my friend! I'm hoping for the best as well. We just have to remember that this film/s isn't going to be our beloved DT books series. But rather think of it as a variant . After all, we're all about variants right?!

    I've read elsewhere that "Hey Jude" has been officially licensed for this film. Will try to get confirmation (evidence) presented in this thread as soon as it's made available.

    Like I said earlier I think I see the vision in moving some of that later stuff up and I am on board with it. They did the same thing on a smaller level with LOTR. There were many things that happened in book 3 that were moved up a bit or happened in book 2 that were moved back. The portions that were moved were able to be moved because there were multiple things happening in the book at the same time and instead of time traveling back they decided to actually show that those things were happening at the same time. Likewise here we all understand stuff HAD to be happening at the devar-toi and with the low men and such while books 1-6 were going on. So to actually show us the breakers story early is not against the books at all and will strengthen the magnitude of what Roland is facing. Really the biggest change will be having Jake know way more and having him a target of the Can-Toi because of his having "the shine" (which is well established in the book). Its actually an excellent way to bring in the breaker story early without introducing other characters.

    FWIW I think it was effective to show Blue Heaven at the very end just because it had been built up as some hellish prison prior so when we see it's a nice place where the Breakers can roam around it's an interesting reversal of expectations.

    I can understand introducing the Tower early on given that I think it's not until DT3 that they really start discussing what it is and the beams are so the audience can have an idea of what it's stake but having Walter strolling around Blue Heaven right at the start is just a misfire IMO.

    Also having Pimli as Walter's right-hand man does change things a bit and it makes me wonder if they're going to throw out the character of Finli and his relationship with Pimli.
