>"[It] may upset some of the fans a little bit" said King.

What did he mean by this?
>>
>>69768759
means King knows Roland isn't supposed to be a nigger, and they'll butcher the story, but there's nothing he can do.
>>
It means he caved like a mineshaft
>>
>Stephen King confirms The Dark Tower adaptation will be shit

Damn nigga, we all knew that the second they cast Wewuz Kangs as Roland

He meant "Oh god please don't call me racist, please I beg of you, it would ruin my career, don't call me racist please, I'll do anything, you can have anything, just please don't call me racist".

>What did he mean by this?
he meant it's a normal adaptation of one his works.
nobody makes 1 to 1 adaptations of his shitty work, they just take the few good ideas he comes up with and ditches the rest.

King is a hack

With Steven King, the further from the source material the better the movie.

This confirms it will be good.
>>
>>69768870
It sounds like they're adapting the shitty parts of the series though.

>With Steven King, the further from the source material the better the movie.
Not this one, as plot heavy revolves around racism. If anyone read the books, they would understand that black gunslinger is equal death of adaptation.
>>
>>69768759
I bet he regrets what he said about The Shining, now
>>
>>69768759
>NOT A STRAIGHT ADAPTATION
so it has a chance of being good?

What are all these middle-aged moms doing on my board?
>>
>>69768971
Yea they're gonna have to re-write a whole section of the story from scrap, why would they make more work for themselves like that?
>>
>>69769009
King was GOAT in his early years tho.

> Casting decission grants Carte blanche for story and characterization alterations and even better, automatic deflection of pretty much any criticism

Why would they NOT

Nice, I was hoping for a gay adaptation.

He's gonna have the horn of eld this time.
King tweeted it.

Basically starts from the end of the book.

Still don't wanna watch tho.
>>
To be honest, almost every Stephen King movie has important changes, mostly in the endings.

Also
>Do a movie because a book with a lot of fanbase
>Shit on the fanbase with the casting choices

I miss something, Hollywood.

I wont watch a nog roland
This book series was too good
I will not ruin my mental image of the characters with this shit
