    I'm still not sure if I like this or not. There are obvious advantages to having a TV season accompany the films and give breathing room for character development, but won't it be a bit ... jarring (for lack of a better word) switching back and forth like that ? Iono, we'll see.

    Wow thanks for that link. The way it's described makes me really want to see these films! Cannot wait!

    So it'll be like this:

    Film One
    TV Season One
    Film Two
    TV Season Two
    Film Three

    Anyone care to take a stab what'd they each contain?

    The tv series idea could work if it does what HBO's allowed to do and copy the British method of making tv shows: restrict the number of episodes, maybe to about twelve or thirteen (twenty's just too long, even for a Dark Tower series), and be given complete free reign for the makers to do whatever they want, including allow sex, violence, and swearing. It's worked for all the best US shows, including the Sopranos and, even better, Deadwood, and it could work for this.

    Somehow, I doubt thats what's going to happen, and it'll probably be restricted in what it can show and perhaps unnecessarily dragged out, but it's a nice idea to have, anyway.

    According to the article the second tv season will focus on a young Roland. I'm guessing that means it will contain the mejis story, I wonder if they will go further than that to include the comic story lines.

    Another announcement with an interesting quote:

    “The worlds of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series are richly detailed, inter-locking and deeply connected,” said Goldsman in a statement. “By telling this story across media platforms and over multiple hours—and with a view to telling it completely—we have our best chance of translating Roland’s quest to reach The Dark Tower onto screen. We are proceeding with tremendous excitement, fidelity to the source material and, quite frankly, no small amount of awe at this opportunity.”
    It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
    A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

    The hands of the many must join as one.
    And together we'll cross the river.

    I read it earlier at warrenellis.com

    Great news indeed. I like the idea of how they're planning to execute it too.

    I can't wait! I especially want to see the TV show. Since NBC is involved will the TV series be on regular NBC stations? I hope it won't be on pay cable stations like HBO. I don't have cable.


    I have so many questions! Who will play Roland? Who will play Eddie? How much of the comic book series will be included in the movies/TV show?

    DID I MENTION THAT I CAN'T WAIT!

    I'm thinking, if they say Season Two will deal with the young Roland (DT4, Eluria, and the comics), then the layout of the series might look this way:

    Film One - The Gunslinger/The Drawing of the Three
    TV Season One - The Waste Lands
    Film Two - Wolves of the Calla/Song of Susannah
    TV Season Two - Wizard and Glass, etc.
    Film Three - The Dark Tower

    Don't get me wrong i'm extremely excited about this, but is anyone else skeptical of the idea of jumping back and forth from tv to film?
    I just think it my loose some people along the way.

    I do share that concern lightly. Honestly, in the end, it doesn't matter to me if it looses people along the way (unless they decided to cancel it due to declining ratings of course). I will watch everything that is produced.

    Although i have yet to finish reading the series, i am ridiculously excited with the news. This easily has the possibility of being one of the greatest King adaptations ever.

    It would be interesting to see how they do it. They better have the same cast for both movie and television or else, what the fuck is the point?

    There are some problems with this, of course. This would entail audiences follow both the series and the movies and would take away chances of casual viewers simply watching the movies. Seems they would miss a lot. But I think with the amount of hardcore fans, this show can be hitting over 20 million people a week with enough interest and quality.

    Honestly, I am excited about the prospects of a movie.....

    But....I'm also really nervous. I've been in fandoms where the adaptations have swung both ways (LOTR vs. Eragon, let's say...). As it stands, however, TDT is my most beloved series, so I really don't want this fucked up.

    Ergo, I really can't allow myself to have an opinion until I see the finished product. But let it be known that I wait with baited breath. I really want it to be good.
    No. Great.
