S. Kings 'The Dark Tower'

[UmarilsStillHere]

No idea if anyone here has ever read these books, or any book for that matter

But still, I read on IGN that talks are underway to adapt these books into either a 3 film set, or a Tv series (or both?)

Anyone got an opinion on this?

Personally I loved the books, and would hope that those '3 films' will be just the first 3 books, then if they sell well they carry on with the full 7 book set, I would hate to see 7 books and 3k+ pages castrated into 3 films. Take the lotr films for example, 3 books, about 1.2k pages, and the cinema release versions of the films were highly cut down. Trying to shove 7 books worth into 3 films would kill the plot.

Then there is casting, the choice of director etc, if your not a big book person you may have never heard of this series but it has got a large and very dedicated fanbase, to keep them happy the films wont need to just be decent, they would need to be great. Think the kind of pressue that was on Peter Jackson to get the lotr films right and your about there.

Hopfully they will be 18's too, if they try to water these down into PG-13's it just wont work.

3 films of the 7 books at pg rating, I think there would be a lot of pissed fans ...
