I agree. There should be a total campaign on this one line...Originally Posted by BuctherOfTull
Honesty they need to market the film with the First line of the book. It should be on the posters and in the trailers. It's King best opening line. Why not use it to sell the Film? "The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed" I think it will make people interested. Much like it hooked us tower junkies when we read it

Forgive me, but that line didn't grab most of the original readers, Kings' name did. It's literary mastery, but I don't think it will do much to impress this generation. Should appear somewhere in the marketing? Yes, but not the focal point IMHO. They'd probably get more bang for the buck out of "There are other worlds than these".Honesty they need to market the film with the First line of the book.

Yes Jake's line would be good too. That pic that Tom Taylor posted a while ago would make a good poster.Forgive me, but that line didn't grab most of the original readers, Kings' name did.

I agree...and someone's idea of the rose, key and pistols on the poster.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
There is a fan-theory that...
Spoiler:
That would be really cool. I done mind it.
Once again, thank you pablo.

Cool. I see Annie Wilkes has a job.
That's a bummer, but it might not be as big a bummer if they release the trailer online sometime within the next month.
I wonder if the trailer leaking early has something to do with this...
Hooboy I guess that's how confident they are in this film. VOD release date is next?
This has nothing to do with confidence in the film. There are other factors at play here....Hooboy I guess that's how confident they are in this film. VOD release date is next?

Oof.
If the leaked trailer is any indication maybe they didn't get it to a version they felt was presentable in terms of green screen and finished special effects.Such as?This has nothing to do with confidence in the film.

Sorry if you guys think I'm bashing the movie or trolling, I'm not. The patterns that I'm seeing don't make me confident that the movie be good. I hope it is and I hope they make more or all the books into movies.
If the film ends up sucking I'll probably cry off all things Stephen King for a while. I'd just be so bummed. Its scary because DT could get a bad rap if the movie fails. Damn it! Why did i get so Attached to this series. Darn you King lol. Seriously I will be legit sad
Guys...this would not be the first time in history that a good movie gets marketed poorly (or, conversely, a bad movie receives excellent marketing).
Or the first time a good SK book was turned into a bad movie. *cough* The Stand *cough*
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
Yes, but I am choosing to give this film a fair shake before breaking out the logs and torchesOr the first time a good SK book was turned into a bad movie. *cough* The Stand *cough*.
So am I. I'm looking forward to it and hope it does well. That post was more directed to this one (that I probably should've quoted instead):Yes, but I am choosing to give this film a fair shake before breaking out the logs and torchesOr the first time a good SK book was turned into a bad movie. *cough* The Stand *cough*
The great thing about books being made into movies is that even if the movie is bad, the book is still unchanged and you can always go back to it as many times as you want. The movie should really have no effect on your enjoyment of the book.If the film ends up sucking I'll probably cry off all things Stephen King for a while. I'd just be so bummed.

This is exactly how I'm approaching the whole thing. I already know the movie won't be "my" Dark Tower, but I'm just gonna try to enjoy it as much as possible.
