RE: O, Discordia! An Argument for the "Dark Tower" Movie
I started reading this series a month or two ago. I'm hoping that I can get through it before the film comes out. Even if the film doesn't completely follow the book, I'm still really looking forward to seeing Mid-World brought to life.
oh i can already tell you the film is going to be vastly different than the books. think of the 7 books as like a "part 1" and the movie is like the start of "part 2." that may be the simplest way to explain things.
you'll understand once you finish book 7 ;)
Well then that just gives me more to look forward to. I better get to reading!! From what I can tell so far, I think I'll like the cast as well. I'm curious to see how Matthew McConaughey will do as the man in black.
oh i'm VERY excited about the casting. even though people are up in arms about a black man playing Roland (who's described as very clint eastwood-esque), events at the end of book 7 wipe that concern away from me completely. Elba will be an excellent roland, i guarantee it.
