I'm excited. I've often felt that the whole story hadn't been told and while I don't despise Furth as much as others, I don't find the comics quite as satisfying, either.
I find the timing of "in about eight months" very telling. This would put Sai King at beginning this project right around the time LOST is wrapping up . . . and what significance does LOST wrapping up have to do with DT?
Discuss . . .

i'm pretty sure he was joking, Path.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
I may be wrong, but I am fairly certain that Abrams and Lindelof (who optioned the film for... $19, of course) said they plan to start production on the Dark Tower film/film series once LOST has concluded. Plus, King loves Lost... if he is anything like myself, he can't think of anything else while new episodes are airing.
I don't think it has anything to do with the finale of Lost. After all, Abrams has said he doesn't think he'll do DT for several years if he does it at all... and I agree partly but not entirely, it shouldn't be rushed but really inspired. I rather see a great film / tv series in 15 years than a bad Hollywood cheesy shitload next christmas.

Maybe it will be the DT version of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

Why a t.v. series? Stations like FOX would get their grubby little shit stained hands on it and mess it up.
I know. But imagine a mini series in the style of The Shining and The Stand. I would be happy with that, although I'd prefer a Lord of the Ring-size film for each book.

Aww....I was hoping for something else. Oh well. I'd like to know what it is that happened to the belt that Roland's mother made for him before he shot her. Remember, he says it bears on their path to the Tower?
Hearing that story would be incredible. I'm hoping for five hundred page stories, including the one of Roland hunting down Rhea... I just hope there won't be too many connections to the original Dark Tower novel(s).Aww....I was hoping for something else. Oh well.

There may be more significance in the 8 months in light of the recent optioning of UTD to Spielberg & Dreamworks and their search for a writer as well as, Discordia and the varied Comic Arc's being released than "Lost" but, that could very well be a little "Bonus" to the schedule.

While i do love those two mini series, i'm just really afraid it could be messed too easily. i think they either make 6 or 7 really good movies like LOTR, or not make anything at all. but thats just me and we're way off topic...I know. But imagine a mini series in the style of The Shining and The Stand. I would be happy with that, although I'd prefer a Lord of the Ring-size film for each book.
I hope the new book is about Jericho Hill and things centered around the fall of Gilead.

Patrick Danville went back in time and was accidentally instrumental in the destruction of the gilead?
that would be sooooo cool
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
Part of me is hoping for the fall of Gilead and Jericho Hill, but I also wanna read about The Ka-Tet, Flagg and the Crimson King again so bad.
Odd for me this new book was annouced when it was. Me and a few friends were talking about how we're all going through withdraw (the comics don't do it for me).
ah! so it's you and your friends who are thinking the universe into existence! (I often wondered who it was)
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, not them. Just me. Can't give them any credit.ah! so it's you and your friends who are thinking the universe into existence! (I often wondered who it was)
Now please concentrate on the content of the future book. It should be about the main (aka second) ka-tet, and - partly - some crucial points like Jericho Hill and the like. I have more wishes, but I'll express them after you're through with this one, which seems the most important at the moment.

Dark Tower VIII?
Not sure when the Grant newsletter came to my email, forgot to look at the date, but really? I thought I was done and now there could be more? I'm sure this is floating around here somewhere already, but I have been away for a bit, and this story caught me by surprise.
Stephen King has announced that he has an idea for a new Dark
Tower book, the working title of which will be THE WIND
THROUGH THE KEYHOLE. He has not yet started this book
and anticipates that it will be a minimum of eight months
before he is able to begin writing it.
This is all the information we have. Please do not call or email
us for further information. We don’t have any.
me by surprise.
