Motion Posters For THE DARK TOWER Announce The First Trailer is Coming Tomorrow!
I know a lot of you have been eagerly waiting for the first official trailer to be released for the feature film adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower. Well, I'm happy to say that you won't have to wait much longer! That trailer will be released tomorrow! The announcement came with the release of three motion posters for the film featuring Idris Elba as Roland Deschain, Matthew McConaughey as Walter O’Dim a.k.a. Randall Flagg a.k.a. The Man in Black, and Tom Taylor as Jake Chambers.
I got to see some footage from the film that screened at CinemaCon and I loved what I saw. I think it looks like it could be a great film. I hope it is, because I want to see the full vision of this adaptation realized, which consists of three movies total and a TV series that will run for two seasons in between each film.
The Dark Tower series tells the story of Roland Deschain, Mid-World’s last gunslinger, who is traveling southeast across Mid-World’s post-apocalyptic landscape, searching for the powerful but elusive magical edifice known as The Dark Tower. Located in the fey region of End-World, amid a sea of singing red roses, the Dark Tower is the nexus point of the time-space continuum. It is the heart of all worlds, but it is also under threat. Someone, or something, is using the evil technology of the Great Old Ones to destroy it.
The film is being directed by Nikolaj Arcel and it also stars Abbey Lee (Mad Max: Fury Road) as Tirana; Fran Kranz (The Cabin in the Woods) as Pimli, the right hand man of Randall Flagg; Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen); Katheryn Winnick (Vikings) and Claudia Kiim (Avengers: Age of Ultron).
The Dark Tower hits theaters this summer on August 4, 2017. To catch up on all of our Dark Tower news, click here.
