the DT movie thread

I had read this somewhere else and it actually started to grow on me ...



Maybe not the best pick but I could live with it.

Sorta thought there would be more action in this thread ...

LOL, no, we mostly mentally masturbate here, as a group. A sort of cerebral circle jerk...

Would you see Joel Kinnaman as Roland ?

[Slender]

Are you Joel Kinnaman? If not, then why are you copy-pasting that exact question onto so many sites?

In any case, it's Javier Bardem all the way for me.

[CyberGhostface]

I'm watching 'Once Upon a Time' where he plays Rumpelstiltskin (or 'Mr. Gold'). He's easily the best part of the show, and he has this little 'giggle' that is just how I pictured Walter's 'titters'.



Maybe not Randall Flagg, but I think he'd make a great Walter o'Dim. Thoughts?

I'm not sure if it's "older" news or not, but I just read that Russell Crow is being considered to take on the role of Roland.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1737199.html

I'm not a huge (or even slight fan of Russell Crow) and that fact admittedly biases my feelings...I'm in complete abhorrence to the idea. Russell Crow possesses no qualities that would translate into a believable Roland Deschain (in my opinion, anyway). The enormity of turning the Dark Tower into a movie is already so complex...I don't think Mr. Crow could carry it. I am inclined to agree with several others' suggestions of Viggo Mortensen taking the role. He has the look and the acting range that I think would be crucial for any actor taking on Roland.

What does everyone else think?

[Jonny Five]

A younger Sam Shepard as Roland. There is about 10 seconds at the end of The Right Stuff where Sam is walking away from a test flight crash carring his parachute, one eye closed with blood, and that squinting shamble of his IS Roland in the Mohain(?) Desert, following the The Man in Black.

Alas, I hear it's "on the shelf" again!!!! So sad!!!!

I think he could play the whole thing. He has that creep you out factor going for a certainty.

Not too sure about Russell Crow for Roland. I would like a younger Sam Sheperd but that isn't possible. Still good with Javier Bardem.

i think michael fassbender would do a real good job. he's quite cold and something about him smiling scares me a little, as roland would.

[DoctorDodge]

Hmm, Michael Fassbender would be an interesting choice, if a little younger than I imagined Roland to look. Still, can't deny I'd be interested in seeing him in such a role. Then again, I've been a fan of his stuff ever since he did tv series Hex. Still weird to think just how big his roles have been since then, really. Definitely deserves it, though.
