    That's funny, I was going to say I really like the cover song. Behind Blue Eyes by The Who. I don't know who does this version in the trailer.

    The vibe I am getting is that this loop is more focused on, Jake. I always felt that, Mr. King kind of felt that way in the original series, but went traditional with, Roland as the focus. Could be very interesting indeed.

    If they turn this into The Adventures Of The All-American Boy and His Sidekick Roland, I will consider hurting the people responsible.

    C'mon, man!!! lol Think about it. Wasn't it always a little more about Jake and Roland as opposed to Roland and the tower? Wasn't the obsession for the tower what ultimately doomed his relationship with, Jake?

    I agree. I liked how it helped set the tone. Great trailer overall!

    Its weird : I posted on my french facebook page yesterday a link to a status on facebook with the video.
    Now, my own status had disappeared : because the quoted status was removed? I never saw anything similar like this...

    I bet that the trailer will be publicly released after that EW Popfest event : probably on EW's own website

    I was thinking about this last night..

    The horror and fantasy element of the story is already well taken care of with the low men and vampires and whatever the hell that creature in the woods was. They needed one strong statement piece showcasing the futuristic technology aspect and the Dutch Hill portal delivers that in a very compelling way.

    Not that I noticed, and if it had been, I'd probably have stopped reading the series. To me, Jake was just the helpless innocent inserted into the story to show us that Roland would really stop at nothing.

    I think it doomed all of Roland's relationships, for the reason I mention above.

    Well, to each their own. I always thought that Roland and Jake had a deeper, more special bond than anyone else in the Ka-tet. Eddie and Sussanah paired off eventually and it was Roland and Jake in the beginning. Anyway, JMHO



    Edit: St. Troy, how many times have you read the series?

    The trailer looks like they are selling it as another YA book series, which is a shame.
    I expect the W&G show (if they still make it) will be on CW for sure.

    I counted 1 young adult there, and zero traces of fledgling romances or love triangles.

    Watchoo talking about Willis?

    Hay guys new here just wanted to give my thoughts on the trailer. So im happy with what i saw of Roland. He seems so badass i love it. One thing i wanted to point out is that the secnes with New York in chaos makes me think that a beamquake happens in the film. I also think the film is going to surprise us by starting with Roland at a version of Tull before getting to Jake. I think the burning village is Tull. So no I don't Jake will be the Main Character. This is Roland's movie. Thats my feeling anyway.

    To clarify, I agree the film's main characters are Roland and MIB. However they may focus a little more on the relationship between Roland and Jake. That's okay by me. To add my other three beans, I'm cool with the "SciFi" vibe on the portal in Dutch Hill for the reasons stated above. Most of the doors in the film were man made or SF in the books as well. Thank you, NCP!!!!!!! LOL

    Default Sooo

    Seemingly without Mordred will we see the MIB as the main villain throughout? I never was a huge fan of the CK storyline and I think it will translate even worse to film. I love the bits with Black 13 though so there is that conundrum.

    With a mind to Mike Whelans' awesome illustration of the Crimson King I don't see how they could avoid, or want to not include that character.

    I can see that working. Will be interesting to see what happens with the MIB.

    That would be a huge win considering they claim the budget is only $60 million. They are really dragging their heels on the full promo though.

    It will be lucky to get $15 million. Like a Vegas bookie, I set the over/under at $8.5 million.

    I agree with RF. It'll reach a limited fan base, and as a result will be lucky to finish in the top 5 for the weekend. I can't wait for the movie, but just don't think it's going to do that great at the box office.
