what you really should be asking is wtf is the dark tower. Spoilers belowSo what is inside?!!?
the tower looks like a stone tower but its actually made of flesh meaning its a person and that person is the main god in stephen king's literary universe called Gan. So after the main character Roland enters inside he sees his life story played out through scenes in different doorways and sees that he has reached the dark tower several times before. His life has been a loop (think matrix 2 architect moment) and when he reaches the top, Gan pushes Roland through the last door so that he can start at the point where he made his biggest screw up in life (losing a magical item called the horn of eld) but this time he has the horn so he is given a chance to fufill his mission the right way and this is where the movie begins. The movie is actually a sequel to the final novel.

I don't care about this usually but for those of you on the fence. The production budget was 60 million which is low enough to risk a rated R release.
Jake dies at the end of the series but gets revived along with Susanah and other characters but they start losing memory of what happened cause they were sorta reincarnated. So this Jake is a new Jake, which brings up the possibility of the movie cast, meeting their book versions through portals (there are other worlds than these) NOW THAT would be dope.

I know its just a trailer but I'm not sure about this. Is this suppose to be a trilogy? I'm assuming Eddie, Susannah, and Oy will be in the next movie but still its too much in the books to try and stuff in this movie. I just dont know. The beams looked cool as shyt and for those asking King said himself that this story was heavily influenced by LOTR and King Arthur but the way he connects this story to a majority of his books is amazing
Edit:
I was hoping they would connect this to It and it looks like it might.
.
Roland was even referenced in The Mist
No way Jake dies in this like the book
Stephen King said the movie is a sequel. Moreover King has written Dark Tower iterations saying there are different gunslinger universes and timelines. Gunslingers are just knights and a knight can be any race. There will be no Eddie, Sussnah or any of the people from the old Dark Tower.

Who cares? Stephen King said the movie is a sequel and there's different iterations and universes in the Dark Towers series. Just enjoy the movie and universe.
so is there gonna be anything even remotely interesting about this at any point? the trailers are a fukkin snooze. MM looks woefully miscast. no buzz. we're looking at a flop here.
honestly, Idris Elba is always good in everything (that Star Trek movie aside) but wouldn't this make sense if they swapped roles? Wouldn't country ass MM make a better gunslinger than devil? Did they not want to make the black dude evil?
