The road to make The Dark Tower might be equal to the hero’s journey in the novels. Ron Howard, Akiva Goldsman and Brian Grazer have their ideas for a very ambitious adaptation that would involve three films and two connective television mini-series for The Dark Tower. It was originally going to be made at Universal, but that didn’t go as hoped.
The film series still has Javier Bardem attached to star as the Gunslinger, Roland Deschain.
According to Deadline, WB is “now very close” to a deal that will put Ron Howard in the director’s chair for at least the first film in the series. Goldsman and Grazer are still on board and Bardem remains attached to star. That would be a good start. The likely home for the television series would be HBO.
Thought to be dead in the water, its great to hear the continued effort to bring this series to the big screen. Once the deal gets signed, you’ll be the first to know.
