Stephen King's Epic "The Dark Tower" - Part 1

[Guts]

I still have the leaked trailer saved on my computer. If the trailer that's going to be released isn't the same as the leaked one then I hope the song used is Hey Jude.

 

[:eek:]

The War Is Over, Gunslinger

The first look at The Dark Tower came this Monday during Cinemacon, the annual gathering of cinema owners from around the globe and Hollywood studios who come to Las Vegas to show their wares. Here is a recap of what was shown.

Sounds okay i suppose, will wait to see the footage but this just doesn't sound too promising as a movie.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Huh. Not sure how I feel about all of this. Damn it Sony, just release a f***ing trailer like you should have months ago.

 

[Guts]

I'm only in the fourth book in the series, but does the Man in Black have telekinesis in the books?

Not that i recall, and if does he doesn't use it any time he would need to! Which he does especially later on.

 

[FunkMiller]

Ugh. Just read Quint's write up on AICN.

Sci-fi mid-world?
Portals between worlds like triangular Stargates, and not actual doors?
Matrix-y effects?
Walter has telekinetic powers?

Sounds awful. Like they've decided to hit a load of movie cliches rather than create something more original, and tonally in keeping with the books.

King may have ****ed up the ending, but it sounds like Arcel is going to do just as bad a job with the whole damn thing on screen...

 

[green]

Sounds fantastic.

 

[Tanin]

That's a shame about the doors not just being doors.

The film is being released a week later than previously slated. Sony have essentially swapped the release dates for this and The Emoji Movie.

I can't even.

 

[Shawn Wayne]

I see more red flags here than in an STD guide

 

[green]

The Emoji Movie is more important to Sony than this…ouch.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Says a lot really

 

[FunkMiller]

The Emoji Movie is more important to Sony than this…ouch.

...until they see how huge the hype for IT looks to be, possibly.

 

[Octoberist]

This is so sad. Even the leaked teaser, I sense something was wrong. It has the smell of Rothman all over it.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

At this point I have no faith this will be any good or anything like the books

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

[DarthSkywalker]

I'd laugh if I wasn't so sad about what this sounds like. It sounds so bad, like they completely missed the point.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Seems like IT might be the tonic fans need after this one.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Yep. That one looks quite good imo. Too creepy Pennywise aside.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I'd laugh if I wasn't so sad about what this sounds like. It sounds so bad, like they completely missed the point.

Aww, sorry babe.

 

[Rowsdower!]

So some guy who created a comic book character named Restin Dane is suing King for $500 million, claiming he ripped off the gunslinger from him.

I can't help but picture this guy who looks like John Turturro showing up at King's door, saying "Yooou stole muh story!"

Wow. And it only took the guy 35 years to realise the 'similarity'.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, seriously.

 

[Guts]

Wow. And it only took the guy 35 years to realise the 'similarity'.

Just like how this guy waited until Annabelle 2 to sue WB and James Wan for a billion dollars.
