So I'm about 2/3s of the way through the first book (The Gunslinger), I'll probably finish it today.  The books is excellent.

I'm not sure if this looks like a faithful adaptation of the entire series, but I LOVE Idris Elba.  The trailer looks pretty amazing.

Thoughts and ideas?

I started the first book but never finished, will pick it up again once I have time 

Trailer looks very action movie like. Was hoping for more of a True Detective esque vibe

Apparently it happens outside of the series.  So there's a lot of flexibility within the world of the novels.  Again, I love Idris Elba =)

It's sort of a "sequel" to the books, which you'll understand when you get to the very end.  Or is it the beginning?  :) 

Now I REALLY want to do nothing else but devote my life to reading this series ASAP...might happen =P

The Dark Tower series is fantastic and ties together nearly all of King's literary works. I have no idea how they'll adapt it for movies but am interested in seeing how they try given the cast they've assembled.

He's the obvious choice for the new Bond but they're too scared to do it.

Besides the fact they won't do a black Bond because of the angry whites.  To my understanding, they want a younger actor to play Bond for a rebooting of the franchise.

Wasn't Casino Royale the reboot??? Lol

Because Daniel Craig gas been very public in his desire to leave the franchise.  They want to find a guy in his early 30s to be a new Bond.

Personally, Idris Elba would be a phenomenal Bond.

I read these books as they came out and I lost interest after the 2nd book. Absolutely loved the first book though. I'll certainly watch this movie.

Also Elba as Bond would be awesome. I'd watch that and I still believe in the "James Bond / 007 is a position not a person" theory.

Kept up with the series through the first 6 novels and then lost interest.

 

My concern is that DT, like so much of King's work, is going to damned hard to adapt for the screen.  So much of King's writing is about what his characters are thinking and feeling more than what they are doing.

I hope they knock it out of the park but Im not going to get my hopes up.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
