What's your question, exactly?
If you are going through hell - keep going
Oh, Nevermind, My post about my choices for characters was deleted by a spam buster, whatever the heck that is. Does that happen often on here?What's your question, exactly?
I for one, have never had a post deleted, as far as I know.

Doe: you should be able to see your post now. It wasn't deleted, only waiting for approval; now that you have more than 5 posts everything you post will appear immediately.
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it was because you are new to the forum (posts by new members require approval by the moderators), but as Jean (The Tenant) said, you are all set now.
This is where this rule is described: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...ead.php?t=6648
If you are going through hell - keep going
Ah okay, thats fair enoughAnyway sorry for the derailment!
I agree with what seems like a majority...
Viggo Mortensen-Roland
I would love to see Thomas Dekker as young Roland
Kandyse McClure- Susannah
Neal McDonough- Man in Black
Kevin Durand- Tick Tock man
What about Whoopi Goldberg as Susannah?

Tom Hanks as Roland, Arnold Schwartinager for MIB.
It would ruin the hell out of it for me if they used a typical holywood style, pretty person cast.
Roland played by Leo Dicaprio, Eddie by someone younger and stupider like Ryan Reynolds...No idea about anyone else...Beyonce as Suze maybe.
Casting Call
I think it has to be Clint...i know he's old...but they can do amazing things with CGI.
If not him, i vote Viggo.
Other than that i think Rosario Dawson would be an AMAZING Suz
I'm all for Viggo.
Been thinking about this for awhile. I don't know how many of you have watched the first season of Haven just end recently on Syfy but Lucas Bryant who plays Nathan would be an awesome choice for Roland. Even his character in Haven if fairly quiet and stoic, but troubled [err haha]. Anyway, I think he's in his 30s and could easily be tweaked a little bit to looked more weathered as Roland could.
He's my pick!

I'm sure most of these have been mentioned, but:
Brandon Frasier as Roland
Steve Carell as Eddie
Queen Latifah as Susannah
Some random kid nobody's heard of as Jake
This originated when one of my friends realized people kept making bad movies based on great books, starring Brandon Frasier. Inkheart? Good book, awful movie, Brandon Frasier. Journey to the Center of the Earth? Same thing.
I can't believe King turned down Frank Darabont for the Dark Tower movie
“Frank did come to me, and I know Frank from before either one of us had a pot to piss in. Frank said, ‘Gee, I’d like to do Dark Tower.’ I said, ‘Frank, give me a break! You’ve got The Mist, The Monkey. You’ve got the prison stories. … Stop putting so much on your plate!’"

Really, King? Really? What the hell were you smoking when you turned Darabont down? You better hope that Ron Howard does a PERFECT job with this TV show/movie combo or else I'm putting the blame directly on you.
If I would trust *anyone* with DT it would be Darabont. The man's directed and written three of King's most well-received adaptations, and after I saw The Mist, I thought to myself "Man, if anyone were to do The Dark Tower, it should be this guy."
Darabont would have given us gold, and King turned him down. FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU--
Seriously, this has to be one King's most boneheaded decisions right after Mordred.

I agree wholeheartedly with everything you typed up there, Cyber.
He turned Darabont DOWN? I thought DARABONT was the one who didn't want to do it because it was too huge of a project....
The Mist is easily one of my favorite SK works. I would go so far as to say my very favorite. I wasn't thrilled with the ending of the Mist in the movie... at all. He did a great job with the Shawshank Redemption, but that's a different type of movie entirely.
King turns down Frank Darabont, just about the only director who doesn't eff up King adaptations, but gives the greenlight to Ron Howard? WTF?
A NEW GAME BEGINS
eh..FU King
Doesnt make much sense to me this, I agree with the OP!
Why not Ron Howard? Rob Reiner did a great job directing Stand By Me and Misery. I don't blame SK for not wishing to put all his eggs in one basket.Sounds fair.
OK, so I have not been all that blown away by any SK writing turned movie. I don't know, maybe I'm too fickle. Please let God intervene. David Lynch to cover the Gunslinger. Ron Howard is cool and all, but I think he would be better for Wolves, or maybe Wizard. I know that they will not be covering the series in exactly this way, but....
With the exception of "The Shining" (which was actually a long time ago) I don't think King really cares too much about the Movie adaptations of his books. I don't mean that as a slam either. Of course he loves the $$$, but I think he's more concerned over the literary quality and so forth than any legacy he may have in Hollywood. Why else would he keep letting Tinseltown fuck up his masterpieces time and again? If he really cared, he'd write the damn screenplays, although that may not actually be his forte'.
As far as turning King works into films goes I feel that generally he is his own worst enemy in that his books contain so much character thought and development (if that's the right way to put it) that it can never really be translated to the silver screen. Stephen King was meant to be "Read", period. Coincidentally, "The Shining" and it's 2 adaptations are a classic example.
Know what I mean?

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Many of the "good" Stephen King films (I.E. the ones that aren't considered B-movies) have been the ones with little elements of the supernatural or at the very least nothing over the top in terms of monsters or something "out there".
With The Mist, Darabont showed he had the chops to tackle one of King's more outlandish ideas--giant monsters from another dimension attacking a supermarket(!)--and made a great film that satisfied most of the fans as well as pleasing the critics. In anyone else's hands it could have been another Mick Garris shlockfest but Darabont went above and beyond. IMO, The Mist is the DEFINITIVE Stephen King film.
Darabont would have been perfect for The Dark Tower. He was willing to do it. And King turned him down.
And frankly, Howard's idea--splitting the series into a CBS television series and a couple of movies--sounds like he's asking for a disaster to happen.
Don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but yes, it will be King's fault. Because he had a director at his disposal who offered his services to him, a director who would have undoubtedly done a fantastic job, and he turned him down.
