>Uh uh. I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself.

i mean they didnt cast him as a lanky ass white dude.

It was that or let him be Bond. Thanks for taking one for the team and letting us keep our ridiculous unkillable shooty series.
i'm not /pol/ but whats the reason for swapping races when the character already is established
also is it really taking place in modern new york or whatever?

I honestly like Idris Elba as Roland. He's got that rugged, tough sorta look. Only thing is, we've had a perfect Roland all along.
>pic related

will the jews ever stop?
>>71856877
No, as much as I like tom jane and as much as he loves SK, he's not right and never will be, give him a part in it yea sure maybe even Flagg, but not Roland he never gets Roland
>>71857011
Dude, he's Roland. I don't give a fuck what you say. He's cold, badass, manly and brooding.
>>71857187
but can he dance?
Perfect choice, aside from the fact that Roland being white is a massive part of his interaction with Detta, which makes him trash.
>implying they'll include her

>>71857011
>>71858178
They wanted to cast the best actor for the role.
>>71858178
Too young. He's got the Clint Squint™ down to a T, but Roland has been wandering for thousands of years. Scott Eastwood is too fresh faced.
>>71857716
Fuck, I would have taken Rust over Elba. Viggo is probably the best current choice. He can look hard as nails or soft as a gentle grandpa. Ideally they would force Eastwood to come out of retirement.
>>71858435
Scott is 30. And it's not like a bit of subtle make up couldn't make him look older.
What did Stephen King mean by this?
>>71858463
moar
>>71858459
He might be 30, but he looks younger, and he's just too handsome, in my opinion. Imagine Eddie calling this guy 'old long, tall and ugly'.
Now if they held off for ten or fifteen years, holy shit he'd be the perfect Roland.
Idris is not Roland. They should have picked an unknown. Idris goes too far into anger too quickly. Roland is fucking tired.
What the fuck?
Roland is a chubby black guy?
Did those fuckers even read the books?
He's slim amd wiry, not a bull with buldging eyes.

You understand that Roland being white is one of those qualities of the character that influence the plot, right?

Anyone know whether Ron Howard is a kike too? I know they claim he was raised as a methodist protestant, but we all know that that's not a question of religious views.
His mother was an actress, his father was a director, he co-founded a studio with jewish Brian Grazer. Knowing the nepotism in Hollywood and the fact that his mother looks like pic related, could it be that he is one of the sneakier ones?
Speegle (Ron Howard's maiden name) certainly sounds like the German word "Spiegel", and we all know what group of people like to butcher German words for their names.
Not that (((The Dark Tower))) wasn't kosher enough as is.

Does anyone else think Idris is at least 30 pounds too muscle and fat for every role he's in? If you're a gunslinger or General Butt Naked you should be lean and mean.

Never seen anyone on /pol/ think this was okay.
Nobody liked The Last Airbender for just this reason.
Lots of people whiteknight the nips too for shit like Death Note and GitS.
Name one prolific example of a nigger character being cast with a white actor.
Why is Roland in a modern city?
It's been ten years since Ive read the books so I dont recall
>>71865315
That makes him even more perfect for it. Roland's supposed to be kind of worn, and haggard looking.
Couldn't Jamal and LaShondra come up with their own characters, stories and mythos?
roland is "hundreds of years old" in the gunslinger

>>71865722
RDJ is playing a white character in tropic thunder. Are you retarded?
Here are my guesses as to how they'll adapt the story.
- 5 minute cheesy intro with hammy voice-over narration about how Gilead fell to wow the audiences with magickal cgi explosions and so on
- in modern-day New York there's a vigilante on the streets, an urban legend, a boogeyman called Roland. he's street-wise and the community likes him but he seems to appear and disappear out of thin air
- Shia-type fast talking Eddie and a sassy young woman who need no man stumble onto him and get to know him better
- Shia-type due to cirumstances starts to learn about how to be a gunslinger, sassy girl learns some stupid magic crap
- Evil Rust appears and starts to upturn police cars and summons a dark thundering cloud over NY and he wants to merge this world with Roland's world which he already corrupted(!)
- he is defeated by the trio, each showing off their strength
- in the end Evil Rust talks to his boss who tells him not to fail him again
- the trio enters the portal to Roland's world "to set things right"
I'm probably 99% right.
>>71865794
The fact that everyone loves blackface RDJ just shits on your reverse racism narrative.
>>71856877
I like Mr. Weber more. After hearing him masterfully act out IT for 40 hours he deserves any A-List role in a King movie he wants.
>>71865839
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, but it's probably close enough to what will actually happen

its half 10/10 amazing half 2/10 shite . i was hoping for some sort of adaptation with an actor that actually looks like roland , maybe wizard and glass with kido roland or the gunslinger .
also he cant play bond he looks nothing like a bond .
>>71865993
fuck yeah. that audiobook scared the shit out of me a few months ago.

Time to palaver /tv/,You listening to me you fucken cunts? Roland isn't a nigger,the end. Basically you take Clint Eastwood stab him in the neck with a syringe of HGH and dump a bottle of black hair dye on him and thats Roland, the character is Specifically supposed to be Clint fucking Eastwood.

>kill me
>>71859914
yes. the first book is kinda slow. but king wrote it when he was19. drawing of three is god tier - written during the time when he wrote IT and shining. wastelands (third book) is cool too. 4th book is great, but I skipped most of it because I read the graphic novels and I didn't want to read it yet again. wolves of the calla (5) is fine too but you kinda get the feel that king tried to rush the story. he wrote 5-7 after his accident that nearly killed him and he wanted to finish the series just in case. 6 is probably the weakest book, but still fine. and 7 is wonderful. haven't read 8 (which play between 4 and 5) yet.
>>71859914
It has an incredibly shitty ending, the bits set in New York suck ass but all the good stuff is still worth it.
>>71867385
>more Nic Cage Ghost Rider
Please gimme.
>>71869173
8 is short and sweet, it adds very little to the story but it's got so much stuff set in Roland's world that it's intriguing all the way through.
I wonder why they already shoot in new york. aren't they supposed to make gunslinger first or are they shooting parts of drawing of the three or later books to be cost-effective?
>>71869559
The entire movie is set in New York because fuck you, that's why.
>>71869576
I hope you're baiting, mate. just jokingly thinking of this rustles my jimmies good
>>71869603
What? Did you think this was a story about a post-apocalyptic fantasy land where magic and mutants exists side by side and old west gunslingers live by the chivalric code of medieval knights?
No. This is about a black man with a tacticool vest shooting crackas in New York. Just like Stephen King always envisioned it.
The books hit a massive, irredeemable wall of shit around book 4 and the ending is one of the single biggest shitfests and asspulls in all of literature. Hopefully they just make books 1-3 and leave it at that.

You haven't heard? They're getting him to play The Man in Black instead of fucking Roland. Pissed away a great chance too, Matt McConnie looks far more like Roland than Idris does, even when they both are in costume as their respective characters!\

>Idris Elba, Matt Mac, Jackie Earle Hailey
The only way they can fuck this up is if the writing is absolute dogshit. I'm usually the first guy to bitch that an adaptation is going to suck, but I've got a weird amount of hope for this movie.
Richard Sayre is book 5/6/7 material, which are the weakest books in the series. Hopefully this means they're restructuring some of the narrative from those books to make more sense in the context of the first movie.
>>71870294
If only there was a way to make actors look taller on film than they actually are in real life.
I actually thought the ending was very clever, but I can see how some people might have felt it was cheap or anticlimactic.
>>71870405
Rumor has it that the "adaption" is actually mostly an original script that borrows plot elements from parts of the books.
There's even some people saying that it takes place in another level of the tower or another "cycle" of Roland's quest sometime after book seven ends.
>>71853365
>what is trigger discipline
>>71870074
>>71870461
It seems Elba has forgotten the face of his father.
>>71870461
Niggers don't understand trigger discipline.
That's why they're always shooting each other.
Agreed, the Eddie/Susannah/Jake ending was the warm fuzzy ending. Roland's ending was the cold, hard kick in the stones that I was hoping for.
I've heard rumors that Eddie and Odetta/Detta/Susannah aren't in this one. The casting choice of Eddie is going to really make or break these movies, I think. Eddie and Roland have one of the best dynamics in the books, they'll need to find someone headstrong, funny, extremely likeable and who actually has range.

That isn't necesserily bad, because to overall saga is kind of clusterfuck
Let's stay focused on what's important here - will they do Oy justice?
I like Idris as Roland and I like the costume, but where the fuck is his hat? Roland has a goddamn hat.
>>71870638
I doubt it.
Prolly turn him into a fucking CGI Pokemon.
Which reminds me, who's in charge of the creature design in this flick? A big part of getting the feel right for this movie is gonna be creatures like the Taheen, Lobstrosities, Slow Mutants, or whatever else shows up, and how gritty and dark they could be made to look.

Nicolas Cage could save this movie and you know it. Maybe have him remember halfway through that he has read the books when he was younger, get all self-referential like King did after the 4th book.
