[Conan_O'Brien]

Anyone excited???

In my mind, Josh Holloway "Tom Sawyer" should play the Roland character. He's freakin perfect for that role!

 

[Octoberist]

Crowe would eat the audience.

Come here! nom nom nom

Yes he is but he's 45 years old and I'm not sure they'll go with such an unknown.

You do know you're responding to a post from 2008, right?

Most interesting this that Ron Howard isn't directing.

I love Pinkner and Goldsman's work on Fringe, but their most recent scripts haven't been encouraging.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Wow, this is really happening. Sony and Rothman make me nervous, but... I'm hoping this will be good.

I will believe this when I actually see it. The first three books are some of my favorites. So a good adaptation would be terrific.

Jai Courtney for Roland.

 

[kvz5]

Jai Courtney for Roland.

Game over.

 

[Rowsdower!]

LMAO

Sam Worthington for Jake.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Game over.

He is like the one punch knockout of fancasting.

 

[DeGenerate10]

Scott Eastwood for Roland

 

[Rowsdower!]

I think Scott Eastwood is way too young. Though I suppose if they age up young Roland in Wizard and Glass and the Gunslinger flashbacks, Scott could work.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Hmm... is Tom Hardy too young for Roland?

 

[Rowsdower!]

Probably but... Tom Hardy can play anything so why not?

 

[Rowsdower!]

Some casting ideas...

Roland Deschain: David Morrissey
Jake: Chandler Riggs
Eddie Dean: Jonathan Tucker
Odetta/Susannah: Rutina Wesley
Young Roland: Dylan Sprayberry
Susan Delgado: Kaitlyn Dever
Jack Mort: Michael Shannon
Blaine the Mono (voice): Kurt Russell
Eldred Jonas: Bill Moseley

 

[Frodo]

I always thought Stephan Moyer of True Blood would make a good Roland, though I like the Scott Eastwood idea.

I'd like Matthew McConaughey as the Man in Black and Andrew Garfield as Eddie Dean.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Can Domhnall Gleeson do an American accent? I can see him making a decent Eddie.

 

[Black Narcissus]

i always wanted to see Spielberg adapt this.

Hell, I would cut off Sawyer's arm to have Fincher direct this.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Controversial Eddie suggestion - Robert Pattinson in The Rover mode.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Viggo would be my Roland.

 

[Sawyer]

I'd cut off one of your testicles to have anyone but Fincher direct it.

That way, you don't get your choice of director AND you'd be down one ball.

Nah.

The other ball went during TWS.
