Question of the Day #56: Who would you like to see play Eddie Dean?

ATSK's choice for Eddie Dean is Shia LeBouf.

He is about the right age to play Eddie.

His build is about what I imagined for Eddie.

Playing a "bad boy" wouldn't be too much of stretch for him.

Shia is a talented actor that could evolve his character from a drug addict into Roland' friend and sidekick.

Let me know what you think of him or anyone else you think could play the role of Eddie Dean.

Fan Choices for Eddie Dean:

Crispin Glover

After receiving his Literary Award SK speaks briefly with FearNet

FearNet conducted a short interview with our favorite author.  (SK is always in a jovial mood for his public appearances.)  He always finds the right words to make us laugh out loud or just grin to ourselves.  He tells the interviewer that he hasn't written The Shining Sequel or the the other Dark Tower books because of an extremely busy schedule. Read the entire interview FearNet full story  I really like what he had to say about the award he received.  True King style and he does have style!

Question of the Day #48: What one book would you suggest someone read who has never read any of King's books?

The Gunslinger 'nuff said.


*Post your opinions or thoughts in comments.

Question of the Day #9: Who could fill the boots of Roland Deschain, if Dark Tower Series ever gets made into a movie?

Johnny Depp could do it!  He is a brilliant actor.  He could play him with ease.  Who do you think?  (I am just about dying to see what other people think.)




*Post your thoughts or opinions in comments.

Question of the Day #1: Which book, short story, novella would you like to see made into a movie?

New site questions added daily.  Post your answers, all posts are read by admin.

The Gunslinger from the Dark Tower Series, for sure. Visually it would be amazing and it would also introduce Roland to the world, especially those who don't read. Maybe it would entice those people to begin to read the series.  If they could make a movie for Lord of the Rings, why not, the DT Series?
