Wowser. I would definitely buy the Art Director a drink, given the chance.

I couldn't even finish the trailer

I like the scenery, but can do without the action movie cliches. The Dark Tower isn't The Matrix.

This film will be a letdown for many, but it really has a chance to be good. Some promo shots had him already with the horn, so it gives it an out for not matching the books page for page...

Damn, that looks good. Can't wait.

Sigh...it isn't Roland...but it does look more intriguing now. I guess it will just have to be taken as a completely different entity than the books.

No Odetta/Detta/Susanna listed anywhere in the credits - a character that is CRITICAL to books 2-7 of the series.
Not the Dark Tower unless this movie is SOLELY based on The Gunslinger.

??? but the kids name is Jake? Can somebody please explain.
Looks good though Elba as the Gunslinger better than I thought, MM as the walkin dude not bad.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. With the way Sony has handled this movie, I think they know its a turd.

Spoilers spoilers spoilers
It picks up after the end of the last book. Roland has the Horn of Eld now.

The same characters can pop up in subsequent trips to the dark tower.

Is that a bad thing? I viewed the ending of the books as if Roland has been following the same path for some time. He's made it to the Dark Tower multiple times, and has to keep starting over. Each trip is essentially the same with a few changes each time through. Jake's introduction is something that may have been the same on this trip.

No not a bad thing and certainly feasible, just wasnt clear on the set up.
What do you think of Elba and MM? Its hard to nail down complex literary characters but that looks pretty good to me.

That's because the story is a circle. Did you even read the last book?

Spoilersssssssss
Basically his memory gets wiped every time he walks through the door at the top of the tower.

MM should be an absolute home run as Walter. Elba is phenomenal in everything else so looking forward to see him as Roland.
