King made an excellent decision in choosing Ron Howard for The Dark Tower series but I don't think their idea to do a trilogy would cover all seven books. Although, I'm sure Ron Howard doesn't want to spend the next 10+ years on one massive project either. So I could see why they would want to do it as a trilogy as opposed to what they did with the Harry Potter movies. What do you think?

My thoughts: Don't bother.
ReplyDeleteUnless someone IS willing to spend 4-5 years of continuous filming at an unbelievable cost, with all the primary actors under contract for the entire duration (think LotR style filming - but for 7 [maybe you could get away with 5] films instead of 3)...
..unless someone is willing to do all of that, I'd rather keep it in my head where I know it won't be butchered. :-)
Some call me Tim,
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good evening. :) Five extra-long movies might be enough. Yes and there better not be any slicing and dicing of this series or else! Thanks
