Agreed. I also think a big reason why is so different is because, while Roland is a great character, you really don't get to experience the layers that make him shine until he's leading a group. The gunslinger was basically a Roland one shot solo mission.

Uhh how about 'IT' ?This is fukking huge. Although, excluding The Shining, Shawshank, Carrie, Stand by Me, and Misery, King adaptations don't have a great track record....but I have hope for this one.
Also, you listed 5 great adaptions, so how exactly isnt there a good track record?

I would put IT up there, definitely. Misery doesn't come close though.
5 great adaptations out of like 55 isn't a great track record.
A Definitive Ranking of Nearly Every Stephen King Movie and TV Show
Running Man was dope too
If the right team is put into place, I think it's proven his stories adapt well to the screen
this is true. But so many of the films were horrible straight to tv type shyt. Look at what frank darabont was able to do with the mist
A lesser talent would have made a horrible film.A talented film maker could make a lot of his stories into fukking gold.
Honestly though,I still wish they would just make it into a big budget GOT type show on HBO. The story is too dense and the tone and story shifts too much for movies. It would be perfect for a tv show because each season of shows are expected to be different. I mean if the first movie is just straight up an adaption of the gunslinger I really dont see it finding a bigger audience as it doesnt give you the expetancy of whats to come.
That's the key. King has said several times that he dgaf who he lends the license to for his movies and doesnt care how they come out. I wonder if he holds this one in a different regard with the type of time and dedication that's been put into it. Hard to imagine he'd just be like "Sure Uwe Bole, go ahead and knock it out in 10 movies. You have my blessing."

Its Stephen kings magnum opus. Almost all his other novels in some way connect to the dark tower series. Honeslty its too long and convoluted for a simple plot break down but its a huge epic journey.one of my favorite book series of all time.
I read almost every King novel pre-2003...........but this is the one book I just couldn't fuuck with.....it was just way to out there. Well it was just deep fantasy stuff, I couldn't wrap my mind around it ...way to much
ness .. So I'll watch the movie before reading the book.
Yeah the books pretty much combine every single genre along the wayI read almost every King novel pre-2003...........but this is the one book I just couldn't fuuck with.....it was just way to out there. Well it was just deep fantasy stuff, I couldn't wrap my mind around it ...way to much

Hispanic isn't a race though. He can refer to himself as hispanic and still be white.

that would dope.
