As a big fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs and his works, I said the same thing about John Carter being made.

I enjoyed John Carter, but it absolutely wasn't in the spirit of the books. I was able to live with that, but a lot of other fans weren't, and THEY crucified it.

I could see a similar reaction to this movie. This already isn't Roland, and that is going to create a lot of stress. It better be REALLY frickING GOOD, or people will go apeshit and destroy the word-of-mouth.
