Actually, Sam Worthington might be a worthy candidate to play Roland, just because he's got the most intense eyes of any actor in Hollywood right now, though he may not be seasoned enough.
I don't wanna take a gander at who should play Susan Delgado cuz what that little girl goes through is gonna give this movie an NC-17 rating if its ever made.
I don't know who Carter would freak me out more as: Cordelia Delgado or Rhea the perverted juice-monger. I honestly couldn't consider two worse roles.
viggo mortenson as roland? i cant imagine any famous actor that would be better, although i think maybe a good unknown actor would be quite good, and then more well known suporting actors like eddie and susannah.
i'm about 90+ pages into the gunslinger and have no idea what the number 19 means. will it ever be revealed (either in this book or some other volume of the dark tower series)? thanx.
Maybe Christian Bale or Viggo Mortensen for Roland a.k.a. The Gunslinger. (Christian Bale has already been named the number one contender for the part).
Smit-Mcphee as Jake.
And Jamey Sheridan as Randall Flagg (cause he portrayed Randall in The Stand.)
we define HIM from those roles just like any actor playing Roland should be defined by his role as Roland, NOT any roles before that. Incidentally, King has said many times he based Roland's character off of Cling Eastwood's early acting roles.
As for Viggo, shut up. The road sucked as a move, go read the book again and this time think about how it worked...as atmosphere you couldn't adapt to a movie, then think about how Roland's character can't ever be adapted by someone we know.
we're going to attach our impressions and feelings from his previous roles to his acting as Roland- He could never be Roland... he could only be _____ (whatever actor's name) playing Roland. I think the actor needs to be someone NONE of us knows, and if he does a good job... we'll all know him as "Roland" after that.
Sort of the same as how everyone knows Cling Eastwood, but his name conjures up visions of the chatracter his first roles as "WIld West hero-cowboy-The VIrginian"...
The best person to play Roland would be someone who fits King's description of Roland, wouldn't it?
He is described as a man we all recognize, but could never really know, someone identifiable only by physical descriptions and never anything about the underlaying personality. We learn very little very slowly over the course of Dark Tower (DT). The series is seven books long, you need to reveal a character over these books. Any actor we know; (someone who has a career and previous roles)
james caviezel for roland wtf? more like viggo mortensen!! i´m unsure about eddie but jada pinkett smith is even better as rosario dawson and kurt nielsen as the man in black (casinoroyalelechiffre)
Oh man... and to think I thought I was the only one who thought Viggo should play as Roland... I'm glad I'm not the only one hah. This short movie rocks! kudos.
It would have been awesome if there was talking between Roland and Jake and at the end Jake says, "Go then, there are other worlds than these." That would've topped it off.
Bullshit! Roland is based on a Clint Eastwood Character; old but still way better then Craig! And Walken as Flagg??? What the f... is wrong with you? Javier Bardem is the man!
i thought so, it might be the tiniest bit of a stretch because if u know daniel day lewis, u know his characters are usually pretty hardcore and roland has his charming moments but i'm sure he could pull it off well before christian bale could, plus his age is closer roland's in the beginning. who for eddie? since i'm not available i'd have to say either an unknown or leo dicaprio. annnnd i'm not familiar with many black actresses, maybe halle berry.
i'm thinking Adrien Brody *go to google images* he played jack in king kong, the writer *but look at his pics* he's rugged, tough, handsome and he can kick ass....that's the qualities that Roland has *no homo*
if you agre or disagree say yes or no and why please
Actually, the best person I can think of that would have the best skills and looks to match: Benico Del Toro. Imagine him with ice-blue contact lenses, he'd be perfect. He has that "minimalism" thing going like Clint Eastwood had in The Man With No Name series of spaghetti westerns.
umm... how bout thomas jane as roland... i dont really know. u know if u watch the movie once upon a time in the west charles bronson looks kinda like roland i supose.
I still think Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost) would be good as Roland cos he is kind of steely. Someone quoted "That chick from 28 days later" for Suzanna - I think she would be good, she is also the rasta lady from the third pirates of the caribean. I think she could be versatile enough
Kudos on the trailer! That was pretty cool. Here's my theory for actors; Roland: James Earl Jones. Eddie: Ludacris. Susan: Rossie O'Donnell. Jake: Jerry Seinfeld. And of course the Crimson King himself should be played by the most evil of all actors...ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER! hahahahahahahaha I crack me up!
all the main parts in a Dark Tower would HAVE to be a new face, no big-name people. think about it, it would totally ruin the mystique of the story if roland was played by tom cruise or something. i sincerely hope that if a movie comes out about the books, that all the parts are played by unknown actors.
i totally agree with that, but y'know, they would have to be good. i think it's most likely that the director would end up paying for a big-name actor just because they wouldn't mess it up acting wise. I hope they would get no name actors though.
if tom cruise plays roland we'll have to kill him for it. i have a feeling there will be a few big names. nobody seems to fit the part of roland though. nobody has the look and the right voice/attitude for it. Sam Elliot, clint eastwood, and hallie berrie will be in it i think
no no no no no ,,, Viggo maybe. big names = bad movies. Roland especially needs to be a "new face". i just think Viggo would be pretty perfect where as he sticks to his roots and has always played a pretty low key bad ass part.
HALLE BERRY???? so bad
Benecio is a good idea for walter ill give that you.
My choices are Kieffer Sutherland or Liam Nesson for Roland, Robin Williams or Gabriel Buryne for The Man in Black, and Me as Eddie. (were i to loose a few pounds you understand)
I think Christian Bale is a great actor dont get me wrong but I think he has been defined in too many other movies to be a great Roland. Thats what The Dark Tower would need
I don't know. I always saw Roland as a little more gristled looking. Like Clint Eastwood, but he is too old now. Someone like a young Clint Eastwood. Some have suggested Viggo Mortensen.
Oh my God. ...that shack on 00:11 is EXACTLY how I envisioned the shack the three boys stayed in. That's totally blowing my mind. The only difference is where the door is on the part nearest to the camera. That. is. FREAKY! Great job man.
Well, considering the amazing job they did making Golem "live" for LOTR, I'm sure movie wizards could create a wonderful billy-bumbler.
But who would play Roland? Clint Eastwood, of course, when he was younger...but now? Hmm. Some people like Viggo Morgenstern for the role (not my choice). Hugh Jackman as young Roland? Possible. Most of the perfect choices are too old now (Eastwood, Lance Henrikson, Tommy Lee Jones).
I suppose Oy would be animated... I really hope they can get this good if King decides to let them do a movie. Something with as much work as they did on the LotR movies.
I looked it up... the Lost guy has agreed to do a suggestion for a movie, but Stephen King will have to accept the suggestion in order for them to continue with doing a real movie.
Here's a quote fromthe site Lilja's Library; a very good info site when it comes to Stephen King:
"I asked Steve for clarification on this and his response was that no deal has been finalized. If and when one is, it will be a 3 year option which he will sell them for $19. I can tell you from experience that there have been many times when an option has expired before a film is made so even an option doesn't mean it's a done deal."
The quote itself comes from King's official Message Board.
They should really do it in a series like harry potter. Trying to cram all of that would really miss out on SOOOOOO many plot points and such. Im still excited though.
cramming all that in one movie would be impossible unless you put it out on like 10 discs. as far as i know, the first movie will be The Gunslinger, the second will be The Drawing of the Three, and so on. i have a friend that's looking into all of this so i get my info from him
actually this movie will probably be made either in the mold of Lord Of the Rings..as a trilogy. Or as Harry Potter as 4 0r 5 part movie series. Either way will be awesome.
actually harry potter is a 8 part movie series, they are splitting the last book into two parts. because there is too much stuff that they have to use that they could fit into 3 hours
Whover does Susannah has got to pull off Detta/Odetta too, so they've got to be able to pull off wicked, snarling pottymouth, and quiet, passive, dignified in the same performance--often in the same scene! Sanaa Lathan from AVP gets my vote. I'd like to see Jake Gyllenhal as Eddie, and Harvey Kietel as Cort. Roland....? He's the hardest to nail down, and he's iconic already, just on paper--still, Viggo Mortenson already nailed Strider/Aragorn before, so maybe he could pull it off...
I say Nathan Fillion would make a wicked good Roland. he's just young enough that he could cover the whole series if they made it a chain of movies over a span of 10 years or so.
he´s the danish actor isn´t he?? ... saw him in several movies (flickering lights, pusher I + II ... ah yeah James Bond) and he definitely has the required acting skills ... besides, there is no bad danish movie ^^
man i cant wait till i finish the dark tower series (im at wolves of the calla more then half-way through it) stephen king never ceases to amaze me with his epic writing skills...
Like the video.
Javier Bardem(no country for old men) has been asked to play roland in the dark tower film set to be directed by ron howard.

I looked it up... the Lost guy has agreed to do a suggestion for a movie, but Stephen King will have to accept the suggestion in order for them to continue with doing a real movie.

Which one? What's the character name from Lost or the actors name? I must know this!!
louann5840 2 years ago
Um... I'm not sure :S I tried to look it up again, but I can't find the article anymore. I suppose it's the guy who directed the Lost-series?
Sorry I can't give you a better answer.

Here's a quote fromthe site Lilja's Library; a very good info site when it comes to Stephen King:
"I asked Steve for clarification on this and his response was that no deal has been finalized. If and when one is, it will be a 3 year option which he will sell them for $19. I can tell you from experience that there have been many times when an option has expired before a film is made so even an option doesn't mean it's a done deal."
The quote itself comes from King's official Message Board.

They should really do it in a series like harry potter. Trying to cram all of that would really miss out on SOOOOOO many plot points and such. Im still excited though.
lt1fan94 2 years ago
cramming all that in one movie would be impossible unless you put it out on like 10 discs. as far as i know, the first movie will be The Gunslinger, the second will be The Drawing of the Three, and so on. i have a friend that's looking into all of this so i get my info from him

I hope so man. Im just hoping they do the books justice.
lt1fan94 2 years ago
actually this movie will probably be made either in the mold of Lord Of the Rings..as a trilogy. Or as Harry Potter as 4 0r 5 part movie series. Either way will be awesome.

harry potter is a 7 part movie series, 6 is comming out soon and 7 will be next.
ironwolg 2 years ago
actually harry potter is a 8 part movie series, they are splitting the last book into two parts. because there is too much stuff that they have to use that they could fit into 3 hours

All worlds are connected. From Salems' Lot to the Dark Tower, everything is connected, with good old Randall Flagg as one of the threads.

That's what makes it so fun to read King. Those connections are like a reward for the fans who read more than two books.

chick from 28 days later minus the brit accent would make great susannah
GalactusNJ 3 years ago
Whover does Susannah has got to pull off Detta/Odetta too, so they've got to be able to pull off wicked, snarling pottymouth, and quiet, passive, dignified in the same performance--often in the same scene! Sanaa Lathan from AVP gets my vote. I'd like to see Jake Gyllenhal as Eddie, and Harvey Kietel as Cort. Roland....? He's the hardest to nail down, and he's iconic already, just on paper--still, Viggo Mortenson already nailed Strider/Aragorn before, so maybe he could pull it off...

on hbo so they wouldnt have to make it pg13 it would completely ruin the book if they lost content

I say Nathan Fillion would make a wicked good Roland. he's just young enough that he could cover the whole series if they made it a chain of movies over a span of 10 years or so.
