Thankee sai
Always found this to be such a cringe line. Stephen King is great but can make some real cringe stuff like that
Them reciting their mantra when they start shooting, or the shrieking they do when they throw the plates, just makes my skin crawl lol. I hope they omit those if they do an on screen adaptation.
They already did make one but it wasn't great
Dark tower IMDB
That never happened. It was... a joke. Yeah.
Yeah that was a fever dream. On the bright side, Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House) is apparently the one in charge of a series coming in the next few years. So that should be pretty solid. Fingers crossed lol
A series is the only way to do Dark Tower. It's too much to try to cram into a movie; there's just about a season's worth in most of the books, and if 8 seasons is a stretch of a commitment for a studio, several of the books are smaller and you could probably reasonably compress the series into 5 seasons.
They need to do it while King is still around, IMHO. More than any other of his novels he seems to have been more emotionally invested in The Dark Tower.
Oh 100% agreed. I think it was the Song of Susanahh especially that I thought could have been cut down by about 50%.
And yeah, it would definitely be nice for him to see his work faithfully adapted. I do selfishly hope he takes a backseat creatively though. He's a phenomenal writer but a terrible filmmaker (imo).
