I know that there are a lot of you readers that have been looking forward to a big screen adaptation of “The Dark Tower” series of Stephen King novels and that moment is today as the Sony Pictures presentation “The Dark Tower” opens up in theaters everywhere. Here is the official poster and I’ve added in the premise and some casting for good measure.
The Premise:
Jake Chambers (Tom Taylor) is an 11-year-old adventure seeker who discovers clues about another dimension called Mid-World. Upon following the mystery, he is spirited away to Mid-World where he encounters a Gunslinger, Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), who is on a quest to reach the “Dark Tower” that resides in End-World and reach the nexus point between time and space that he hopes will save all existence from extinction. But with various monsters and a vicious sorcerer named Walter Padick (Matthew McConaughey) hot on their trail, the unlikely duo find that their quest may be difficult to complete. (thanks Wiki)
