    I really like non-fan reactions, because for the film to do well and ensure we get more Dark Tower, they need to be excited, not us.

    Your totally right... and the only ones complaining.... are die hard fans. Just people who really have read the books. I find collectors are more excited than not though as well.

    I've gone through the trailers and previews frame by frame several times now and here are some thoughts.

    Spoiler:
    1. I think the filmmakers smartly made a modest budgeted film set mostly in New York so it would almost definitely make its money back therefore guaranteeing a second film and probably tv series.

    2. Casting is also very smart bringing in built in audiences of fans of Idris and Matthew.

    3. Trailer nicely sets up the basic storyline of Jake having visions of another world then getting pulled into it to help save both worlds.

    4. King has stated that this film starts as the first book does with the classic opening line. The shots of Roland in Mid-World by himself are clearly from the beginning where he's pursuing The Man in Black.

    5. Jake coming through a portal into the desert obviously differs from the books but I understand the change.

    6. The trailers show Jake and Roland travelling a great distance across desert, rock, grass, river, forest and mountains. There is a brief shot of a creature coming toward camera. In the background, it looks like it might be under the mountains where Jake falls. I think this creature is a Slow Mutant. There is also a brief shot where it looks like Jake is falling in the same setting. It makes me think that still happens in this version.

    7. There is a brief shot of a free floating open door with 1919 upon it. All around is devastation. It's still possible for Roland to come to this door after Jake falls and go through to his world and meet back up with him. I don't see why they would feature the tag ling, "There are other worlds than these," and not use that iconic scene.

    8. When Jake comes through the portal you can see (only in the leaked version of trailer) a residue mist of the door he just came through which is rectangular like the ones on the beach as it quickly dissipates. That trailer also shows the portal so maybe they travel multiple times.

    9. The shot of Jake being enveloped by part of the house is also very encouraging. They show Roland at this portal as well which is how Jake got to his world so I assume he's going back there at some point.

    10. Jake has a bag with him that contains his notebook of select drawings of his visions as well as possibly some books.

    11. Roland's left hand seems to have a scar on it which is not there in the flashback with his father, Steven. Maybe he still has an encounter with the Lobstrosities.

    12. All the stuff at the Dixie Pig seems to me to show the danger they have to escape from after being reunited in New York. I'm sure while Roland is there he will stock up on ammunition and Astin.

    13. I expect a lot of references to other King material throughout. I'm really hoping that King's name is mentioned straight out to set up his being a character later. I see no reason using the number 19 unless they plan on visiting the author.

    14. I have no problem with this trailer focusing on the action with Roland as that is important and that's what trailers do. They show action shots in quick cuts.

    15. We also see MIB looking through the Wizard's Glass. There's a close up of his face where we see flames reflected in his eyes.

    16. The shots of the Tower exploding are most likely visions from either Jake or both him and Roland. They show the six interconnected beams and the affect on Jake's world if the Tower is destroyed.

    17. So much to anticipate from this trailer. Hopefully we'll see another one with more imagery before August. I can't see why they would stray too far. It looks like the first half of this film will be The Gunslinger then they will skip around a bit so Roland can reunite with Jake sooner and be in New York to keep the budget down.

    18. I hope this film ends with Roland on the beach with perhaps a hint at the second door and drawing Eddie and Susannah in the next movie.

    19. I think Jake must die about halfway through this first film as there isn't much drama if he doesn't. Remember, Roland chooses to let go but Jake says there are other worlds than these implying he thinks the Tower is more important than him and to let go. The flashbacks should mostly be held back for the tv series as they would slow down this film.

    With all the hype last year with Charlie the Choo Choo, will we see any appearance or references in the movie? Or do you think Charlie and Blaine to be in the made for TV series.

    I asked my family this same question when they came back from Guardians as well. I was surprised it wasn't one of the trailers shown.

    No trailer here either. Maybe it's too new. And since it's Sony, I think it'll definitely show with Spider-Man.

    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.

    Not just here but in general. It really felt like EVERYONE was talking about It when the trailer for that came out. With DT, not so much.

    Admittedly DT has more of an uphill battle given the relatively simple premise for It (evil clown) and the recognition with the miniseries but still.

    For me I'm always a pessimist so I'm just trying to keep my mouth closed as not to ruin the fun for others. I am in the minority here that was wishing for a closer adaption to the books. A new story was unexpected and is still disappointing to me.
