It does matter though, avid readers like me have investing into this story for years. Some people even when the books first came out and they've gotten this picture of Roland in their heads since the very start of these characters.

Yet despite all the build up of the characters and their descriptions he's throwing that away

You say "story is what matters" yet like I said Roland being white is brought up alot with the characters he meets calling him names like cracker and white bread. Susannah especially

So it affects the story a little bit as well and the development he goes through.

Point is they f***** up here...and for what "diversity" even though you have a black female lead in it with Susannah

¬¬

But the story is about a white person, so they are changing the whole story just so people can get their way, that's the problem. If they cast a white actor to play blade or Spawn people would bitch and moan

See and this shitty excuse is getting out of hand aswell

"best actor"

Yeah he's a good actor but stop making out we can't have both...that we can't have a great actor AND an actor who looks the part

Why make out like Hollywood have to choose.

The place is littered full of actors, known and unknown are you really telling me they can't find someone who can do both? If you did then you would be lying to yourself.

Book of Eli was not an adapted novel. It's a film where they've created something brand new and got any actor they wanted for the whole regardless of race or even gender.

That's what studios should be doing but that's a really horrible example man...just plain terrible.

You are comparing something made from scratch to the Dark Tower, a book franchise which has been going for over 30 years.

Oh god. Why rush it...it's such a good franchise

I think they have like 10 - 11 months to do this before they want to release it aswell

This is not going to be good. Seems it's going to be a slap dash job
