I expect a lot of shit for this.... but I loved the books, I'm on my (very rare*) second read through and just paid premium price for The Wolves of The Calla just to carry on the journey.

I recently found The Dark Tower is being made in to a movie.... and they've fucked it up before it's even hit the cinemas.... in my opinion:
The trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjwfqXTebIY

It's wrong on so many levels... OK the film looks good..... but it's not the Dark Tower as I know it.

Am I just a complete piss head that loved the books and should accept the movies?

I think the books would have been incredibly difficult to make into a film if they were faithfully followed.

Idris Elba as Roland will take some getting used to. Doesn't fit with my vision of him in the books at all.

I think I might have to have a revision read of the books before watching.

I couldn't get through the books but the movie looks OK.

Just watched the Marvels Defenders trailer and it's missing the one person they I'd want to see Sad

The starvation rations they had him on for six months, before filming, went well then! Rolling Eyes
