    lol a large book series doesn't get a tv series
    lol it gets a movie instead
    lol it's only 95 minutes long

    Looks like a disaster, and I don't know the first thing about this series.

    You obviously know the first thing: it's a large book series.

    Looks like the McConnaissance is over. He'll be in another romcom with Kate Hudson before too long.

    they have a showrunner for the series now, and early info says it won't be connected to the movie as previously stated.

    Didn't look like it'd be that good from the trailer even, Idris is a decent actor though.

    It was a good book that he wrote while he was quite young (still in college I believe) I have no intentions of seeing the movie now after the reviews but it's typical of most of his adaptations and it's been consistent through the decades. Stand by Me and It being the rare exceptions. I can stomach The Stand as well but it's not in the same tier.

    Shawshank Redemption, The Mist, Misery, 1408, The Shining, Dead Zone

    There's plenty of good to great adaptations.

    It's allright. Not everyone can be an expert movie reviewer.

    I hope not. I'm guessing it'll be a Picks on the Horizon.

    I'm expecting it to be at most a black toe sally, tbh.

    I liked the Green Mile well enough. In the very least, it was a solid adaptation of the book.

    Dont go in expecting more than the loosest of adaptations and you should enjoy yourself.

    I've read the whole series. The subject matter doesn't lend itself to a big blockbuster summer movie without losing a lot of the substance that makes the books what they are.

    Apparently the tv series is still in the works, so maybe the series will eventually get the treatment it deserves

    In the wake of moving from an overall deal with Netflix to Amazon, writer/director Mike Flanagan and his longtime executive producer Trevor Macy have revealed that they have acquired the rights to a screen adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower. Flanagan said to Deadline in an interview that he’s already written a pilot script and season outlines for the show, and imagines a series that will run for five seasons and culminated by two self-contained feature films.
    fingers crossed
