    Currently listening to the podcast. I think that it would have been interesting but also think that it also says too much, making sure that this project wouldnt happen anywhere. Even though I am sure that they tried to sell it to Netflix, Disney, Apple+ and all the other places

    It sounds like he was planning this out for several seasons which would have been a huge risk even if Amazon did pick it up.

    At this point I just can’t imagine any situation where the whole series is adapted faithfully.

    Wow, yup. Unless I read it months ago and forgot it, I totally missed that it wasn't moving forward.

    And yeah, the writing in both of those articles is poor.

    I don't think that a target of 500 people will change anything, but apparently there is a petition asking to Amazon to release the Dark Tower pilot !

    I still think the best approach would be to start with the first book and move on from there. I don't think multiple seasons of young Roland will work.

    Granted it's still a huge risk either way but I think the first three books at least wouldn't take much to make the transition. Everything after that would probably have to go through some serious changes (unless the series is a huge success and they decide to go full on 'cinematic universe' but that's a pipe dream).

    Or if nothing else, start with the first book but have flashbacks to the W&G story scattered throughout. I mean the first book is a lot of flashbacks anyway. If done right, you could have a story within the story and get through the first 4 books in just a couple of seasons.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    The best approach would be to start with The Gunslinger, and pepper in scenes of young Roland, something akin to The Godfather II with Michael/Young Vito. It would be a perfect way of showcasing Flagg's villainous nature as well, demonstrating how he torments Roland through the years. Shows these days are adept at handling multiple timelines, Westworld season 1 pulled it off to perfection.

    It's news to me as well! The outline in the first article looked promising too. (The second link seemed to take me to a completely different article.)

    Mixed feelings. A faithful series would have been interesting, but I'm kinda happy to leave it with the books.

    This looks like it really had a chance to be good. I can't believe it's not happening.

    Amazon should at least put up the pilot on Prime. They've done that before where they had a bunch of pilots and they picked up the series for those that got the most views or somesuch.

    HBO Max should snap up the rights. They would certainly do it justice.

    Me to. I cannot think of anyone better than Mae's pick of HBO MAX. I looked at that pilot and the pics and where they were going with it.. and it just didnt grab me. They need ALL unknowns. Casting is SO important.
