I’m sure you’ve heard the rumors by now that Stephen King’s Dark Tower would be coming to the big screen in an epic adaptation. Well, if this idea made you giddy and you can’t wait to see it happen, then I suggest you sit down because the Dark Tower movie has gone bust, its fate now unclear and any chance of good production value all but lost. Ron Howard was set to direct and making plans, including casting Javier Bardem and making a 2 season tv series that would show the events which took place before the books. But all is not lost, for there is still a proposed eighth book coming out entitled “The Wind Through The Keyhole” and there is the Marvel Comics series which is still going strong, so read on and imagine the movie in your mind.

as for the movie, few of his films translate well (It was HORRIBLE) but a couple are gems (Stand By Me, Shawshank Redemption)
