The more I hear about this the more I can't wait to see how it turns out. I kinda wanna see how they will translate all those creatures to TV.

I agree with that,I kinda curious how they  should do that.

I am a little hesitant on all this. I'm not sure a movie or a TV series could even scratch the surface of the world that King created for this. I'm wondering how they will show things like the Plaster Man or the Prancers... oh wait... CGI. Bardem seems like a good choice, though.

I'm somewhat skeptical too.  Maybe because I found the story so great.  Although I breezed through the others, it's been two years and I still didn't even finish the the last one yet, The Dark Tower.  In fact, let me get back to it now.

The New York Times reports:

"Javier Bardem has officially signed an epic deal to star in the movie and TV adaptations of Stephen King's "Dark Tower" book series. The Oscar-winning actor will play Roland Deschain in the eagerly awaited Ron Howard and Brian Grazer adaptation of King's beloved seven-novel saga.

It's a momentous deal because each of the three movies in the series is to be followed by a TV miniseries. A well-placed source confirmed to Page Six, "Bardem has signed on to the first movie and the miniseries, but the intention is that he will star in all three movies and each of the TV series. It's an enormous deal for any actor, but Bardem was always the first choice."

I'm so stoked for this choice. Just watch 'No Country For Old Men", slap a cowboy on him and imagine him relentlessly hunting down the Man In Black and gunning down slow mutants. Awesome!

Writes Deadline: "This marks Verheiden's return to NBC and UMS following his turn as a supervising producer on Heroes. He also was a writer/co-exec producer on the NBCU series Battlestar Galactica, which ran on Syfy. He most recently served as a co-executive producer of TNT's upcoming sci-fi series Falling Skies, from DreamWorks TV."

I can't believe this crazy concept of crossing TV and film is actually going to happen!
