The problem with making any Dark Tower movie is that you have to start with book one, and that one is the slowest book of the bunch. If it tanks we don't get the drawing of the 3, which is my favorite of the series.

It is a slow book. But I think it lends itself to film better than most of the other books in the series. It has the biggest upside, I guess. I think it could/should be visually stunning and it'll be the shortest of the films. There's a lot that can go right with Gunslinger. It's everything that comes after that makes me nervous. At least on film. The books get better... but the potential for ****-up also exponentially increases.

I saw that somebody on the site with the full story suggested james mcavoy for eddie... i could get behind that!
I like olyphant for roland, not sure who i'd like to see as susannah. I don't know if i'm excited or scared for this whole project! It could be very awesome or incredibly terrible... It is such an awesome story! I read through it probably once a year, and i'd hate to see it get trashed!

I would think they'd combine several books into a movie if only 3 movies are planned.

That would suck if they cut Wolves. I thought that story was awesome.
