Amazingly, no one have posted this yet, so here it is:

The Dark Tower will be made into a trilogy of movies, AND at least 2 seasons of TV series to tie them together .

So, wow!

Three films and 2 seasons on network TV. That is fucking insane, but just may be the ticket to properly tell the story. Hopefully, it gets underway soon and they are able to pull it off. FX or HBO would be better TV/Cable platforms, obviously.

Ok, was an 4 months old thread, this is news from yesterday, got nothing to do with the old rumors

A helluva long wait!

The Dark Tower Gets A Release Date


Universal has locked in release dates for some of its big upcoming movies, among them Ron Howard's adaptation of Stephen King's Dark Tower..
Ron Howard's Dark Tower adaptation will make history, as he and Universal are bringing together a movie trilogy and tv series based on Stephen King's much loved novels/comics. And now wed have a release date. The first of the trilogy is set for release on Friday, May 17, 2013.

Just a little bit of a wait then! But it could really be worth it. Apparently the plan is to start with the first film in the trilogy and link the following films with a season of Tv episodes between them. This epic undertaking has drawn comparison to Peter Jackson's work on LOTR, and Howard acknowledges and invites it..
