Javier Bardem? Ron Howard has forgotten the face of his father and should have been sent west.

I've only read the first two books but I can't see how this would be easy to pull off as a MFTV series.
It definitely think it deserves the "LOTR Treatment." JMHO...

I'm interested in seeing how a combined film trilogy plus series to fill in the stuff in between is going to work. It could be the wave of the future.

Never read this series but I picked up the graphic novel a few months ago and really enjoyed it. Gunslinger Reborn was the name of it.

I'm actually a little relieved. Ron Howard's involvement has always felt off. |

The story is too complex to do it any justice in a movie.
