Title: Ron Howard to direct The Dark Tower Post by: 3mnkids on September 13, 2010, 06:21:37 PM http://www.totalfilm.com/news/ron-howard-to-direct-the-dark-tower
Quote Stephen King’s sprawling Dark Tower book series is being given the big (and small) screen treatment courtesy of director Ron Howard. The seven-tome series, which King himself has described as his magnum opus, follows gunslinger Roland, who is on a quest toward a mythical tower that is said to be the nexus of the universe. Universal Pictures have given the go-ahead to a trilogy of films based on the books, with Ron Howard directing the first instalment. Not only that, but a TV series will air directly after the release of the first film that fills in the blanks before the second movie. Thoughts on Ron Howard doing this? Should be interesting. Title: Re: Ron Howard to direct The Dark Tower Post by: Joe the Destroyer on September 14, 2010, 01:50:14 AM I am a huge fan of the Dark Tower series.
HUGE fan. I'm hoping for the best because I don't want to have to send a legion of p**sed off mutant badgers after Mr. Howard. |
