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 see Drawing of the 3 as a film you could get guy like Howard or Darabont to shoot as written, but The Gunslinger needs a director with a creative vision, IMO. Now Wastelands... Now there is a book with a huge amount of ****-up potential. They better hire ZZ top to do the score for that one! |

That was awesome. It would be really cool to see each film directed by a different artist. That would have been really fun to see. I don't disagree at all about The Gunslinger film as directed by Howard. But he does seem to have a deep respect for the source material. Maybe this will be the thing that breaks Howard out of his safe-zone. He's got an eye, he's just too safe. Maybe this forces him to take some risks. |
