If it falls, hell will be unleashed.

Finally! I’ve been waiting for the trailer for I don’t know how long. Just watch how he loads his revolver around 2:00!

I’m warming to the idea of Idris Elba playing the Gunslinger although I’d have picked a Clint Eastwood type with the traditional cowboy hat for Roland if it were me. I say this too much probably but I really liked Tom Hardy in Fury Road. His face might be too round though.

I give the graphic novels an A+ for being more than I imagined how everything would look. The trailer has a bit of The Matrix going on but I kinda expected that for an “action” movie. The Matrix changed everything.

Also, from the Wiki page:

The film has been stated to be not a typical adaptation, but more of a new take on the series…and Arcel said that fans will know the movie is a sequel to the book series.

Regardless, I’m excited and I should finish the books before the movie comes out.

They got Instagram for the movie, too: instagram.com/darktowermovie/

August 4th, peeps.
