Marc B. Wrote:Seeing Metllicamilitia's signature quote ("Go then! There are other worlds than these!") made me realize no one here has posted about the discussed Dark Tower movie. If you didn't know, J.J. Abrams (LOST creator) is in talks with Stephen King to bring his epic series to either television or cinemas.
I did
not know that! That's exciting and frightening at the same time.

It would have to be a series, I agree on that. Way too much would be lost in a cinematic version, unless they're thinking about a series of 3-4 hour-long movies ala Harry Potter?
Marc B. Wrote:I for one would love to see DT come alive in some format. Has anyone checked out the first issue of The Gunslinger Born comic released last week? I've never been able to imagine what Gilead looked like and it was great to finally see a visual representation.
Haven't seen the comic but I'd also like to see DT in live action. But it also frightens me a bit, as I already mentioned. The Stand was one of my favorite books ever (still is) but I ended up being disappointed by the tv miniseries. It would be such a shame if any DT film(s) turned out the same.
