The Gunslinger Comes Face to Face With the Man in Black in New DARK TOWER Photo

We haven't heard or seen anything about the feature film adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower since the release of the film was delayed from February 17, 2017 to July 28, 2017. Director Nikolaj Arcel and his post-production team just needed a little more time to properly finish the film. 

Now we have this new photo featuring Idris Elba as Deschain, a.k.a. The Gunslinger, angrily staring down Matthew McConaughey as Randall Flagg, a.k.a. The Man in Black. It's a nice little image that gives us a little taste of the intensity between these two characters who have a long history with each other. 

An early trailer for the film leaked online a few months ago. We didn't post it on the site but I watched it and I absolutely loved what I saw! This looks like it's going to be a fantastic film! There's no word on when we will see an official first trailer, but I know fans of the novels that the film is based on are looking forward to it. 

The Dark Tower series spans eight novels along with a few assorted short stories and comic books. The movie is not a direct adaptation of these books, it actually serves as a companion piece to the books that follows 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 also stars Tom Taylor as Jake Chambers; Abbey Lee as Tirana; and Fran Kranz as Pimli, plus Jackie Earle HaleyKatheryn Winnick, and Claudia Kiim. There has been a ton of news surrounding the development of this long-awaited film. If you want to catch up on any of that, click here.
