The Dark Tower series filmed adaptation

[Isamu Dyson]

Apparently Tom Taylor's Jake is supposed to be eleven years old. I was of the mind that his version of the young Chambers would be aged-up a teeny bit.

[CaraLaughs]

I think Sai King is looking at this as though it were a reincarnation of Roland as he left the top of the Dark Tower to chase the man in black across the desert ∞ At least, that was what I thought I had read. I will have to look into it more.

Essentially, that is what the story of the planned cinematic franchise will be...a final journey of redemption for a cosmic reincarnation of Roland.

Entertainment Weekly: The Dark Tower movie is filled with Stephen King Easter eggs

[Randall Flagg]

I caught several.

• Pennywise sign with ballons next to it. Looks like it might have been a theme park.
• Picture of the Hotel used in the Movie The Shining.
• Rita Hayworth Poster.
• 19 graffiti on ground.
• Possible Cujo reference.
• Children of the Corn homage.
• Christine Car.
• Misery's Child book.

I'm sure there are more.

Twins could be The Shining; Happy face = Mr. Mercedes

The Sombra Group apps can be updated for scanning more content... which I guess would be promotional ones?
Maybe the upcoming ART book?

Here's all the easter eggs from the trailer.

NEW POSTERS:

[Argie]

Im pretty sure the smiley face was used by Walter/Flagg way before Mr Mercedes. Right?

[Iwritecode]

I seem to remember a smiley face showing up in Desperation as well.

Are those last two posters Jae Lee art? It looks reminiscent of the comic books style anyway, obviously incorporating three characters' likenesses. Nice touch!

Major Dark Tower cycle spoilers: DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE LAST NOVEL*

Spoiler:

Concerning Walter's increased presence compared to the novels, if we want an In-world explanation I wonder how aware of the cycles Walter is. Strictly speaking Walter isn't cycling at all. It's Roland who does that returning back to a past point and bringing minor changes with him. But I wonder if on some level he has an awareness of those other timeliness Roland has walked, and his own role in them.

If he is aware, even just subconsciously that they're nearing the end, maybe that's why Walter is ramping up his operation. Or it's his reaction to Roland's more aggressive pursuance of him, because Roland is aware on some vague level. (That's kind of a contradiction in terms, but I hope you understand what I mean). Or maybe it just seems that way, because we're seeing more of Walters machinations which happened off-page in the book.

*Okay, I'm sure most people here have read the novels already. I just prefer to be safe, as it'd possible people might just come here to learn about the movie without reading the books...

I'm pretty sure MIB makes reference to his awareness during the palaver in "The Gunslinger", no?

[Isamu Dyson]

The rumpled/creased state of Roland's clothes in that first poster is oddly appealing to my inner art fan.

King posted in Facebook saying the new Jae Lee posters have an Easter egg in them?

Anyone have any idea what it might be?

I'm pretty sure I see the eye of the Crimson King to the right and left of Roland's arms. They have a very Rorschach feel to them.

I seem to remember a comment he makes suggests that.

Spoiler:

I wonder how much he is aware of his own fate in those possible futures

The eye can be seen as part of the birds feet as well (just below Roland's belt) turn it 90 deg and you will see it.

It can be found in the MIB poster as well

Spoiler:

below his elbows and then to the right (or left depending on side)
