    Yeah, I have. Been saying that from the start of these rumors. And I think the movies should be dropped altogether, and just do what's been done with HBO's Game of Thrones, a season a book.

    I'm okay with the news. Fairly optimistic. Glad to hear they haven't reduced the scope, not only as a DT fan, but because of the doors it could open for future productions. Praying that they DO do it right and with much success. Thanks for sharing the links, y'all.

    I like that idea a lot, but with a small twist, A movie release covering the first 2 books and then straight to HBO for the balance of the series. Be good marketing for HBO, too.

    What do you think?

    My heart just went up to my throat because I'd read an article from March and expected that was the last word anyone had said about it (being that this whole thing had been cancelled).

    So glad* to see that it's still back on track.

    No, Brice. It's actually Roland waking up from a virtual simulation, with Eddie and Jake as his children, apologising for any "issues" they had and Eddie and Jake saying, "Let's not fight anymore, dad". Cue hugging. Cue credits. Cue sick bucket.

    Oh, really satisfying ending might mean almost anything. I hope it IS different from the books. Not totally Hollywood, of course, but I'm not ready to jump to that conclusion.

    Believe it or not, I actually based that on the ending of a US remake of one of my favourite shows ever. *shudder* Trust me: those bastards really can sink that low when it comes to pissing on beloved endings, sometimes.

    Oh, no doubt. I'm about 99% confident in their capacity to fuck it up. I have no plans to watch it.

    Oh, and I happened on the new series of Misfits last week. A nice start, although I think they could have left out the
    Spoiler:
    bum-sex stuff
    . I really like Misfits, but I think the writers can sometimes be crude just for the sake of it.

    Back on topic- I actually wouldn't mind some changes to the novel ending, as long as it's not too 'tied up' and they leave out the cheese. The Kumbaya ending made me snigger though. Despite my dislike of excessive profanity, I do have a warped little mind in some ways.

    Did anybody see or hear about the new show on AMC called "Hell on Wheels" The lead actor Anson Mount looks like a dead ringer for Roland the Gunslinger!

    check out the IMDB page. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1204007424/tt1699748


    Seriously, this actor has the looks and the attitude! Plus he is already playing a character that kills in cold blood and is an "anti-hero" What do you guys think?

    Hi guys, really need a favour here please! I'm trying to find the fantasy casting list that someone made, I'm sure it was JJ Abrams but I can't find it anywhere. I know it was posted in this thread. Any help? Cheers.

    Aren't they still going for Bardem, though? I don't deny that I see Anson Mount as a stellar gunslinger, but maybe in the American Old West, only.

    As soon as they announced previously they were doing movies and a TV series with Universal and Ron Howard, I immediately e-mailed them and said I didn't think Javier Bardem was a good choice at all and that it would be a much better idea to do a long-form series approach on HBO since they have a proven track record for quality production year-after-year. Timothy Olyphant would be a good choice for Roland. Plus he has a history with HBO (Deadwood). Javier would be a mistake. Casting Jake will be difficult because people usually love or hate child actors. I didn't mind the kid in The Shining mini-series but a lot of folks hated him.

    The good and bad thing about being on HBO is they either try and cram 7 books into one season and/or mix it up with films which might not work. Or, they do the first two books then HBO cancels it and leaves us hanging like a half-dozen or series. It's a gamble.
