The scale of Universal's The Dark Tower project has always been incredibly daunting. In order to pull off a trilogy of films with two full television series in between, the studio would be required to put up an incredible amount of money with no guarantee of success. Now, the project close to starting production, the studio is feeling like a bride on the night before her wedding day.
Deliver Me Review: The Swedish series follows two troubled teen and their troublesome lives when one of them is shot dead.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Brigands: The Quest For Gold Review: The Italian drama follows a group of brigands, embarking on a journey to reclaim power and some hidden gold.
If this project gets cancelled, I would be extremely disappointed. Stephen King is my favorite author and despite the fact that I've never ready any of the series, I know many people who say it's the crown jewel in King's body of work.
Noooooo! I've been looking forward to this for so long. At the very least just adapt The Gunslinger. It was designed as a stand alone story and could work well to 'test the waters' for future Dark Tower projects.
I can see it happening. Universal is kinda on a fine line right now. They haven't had anything big in years.
I think you take the gamble though. With this or another project that leads to this. its hella strong stories and a lot of people will enjoy it if the quality is done right. so if they do it, it has to be all cards on the table for the jackpot. If it fails, well so long Universal. I just don't think failing will happen though, not with this.
I would suggest revisiting a classic or doing something to make easy money first, and using that money to make this.
This sounds so interesting it would be ashamed if it never gets done. I also would like to read the books now that I've heard all this.
what is dark tower?
