Ron Howards reportedly set to adapt Stephen Kings sprawling series of novels, The Dark Tower.
If you want to be entirely spoiler-free, you might want to give this one a miss.
Specifically, we talk about the ending in the last entry in this list…
Seven films may be a bit much, but three is a good solid number.
After all, everyone loves a trilogy.
Three films might be enough to successfully adapt the series without changing it completely.
(Yes, I did actually sit down and think it through.)
But we may see a trilogy of films and a well produced television series, if were lucky.
(At least three of theHarry Potterfilms can be cited for this).
Thats not too much to ask, is it?
Were British
Sex and genitalia have an almost unwholesomely large presence in the novels of Stephen King.
Without wishing to sound prudish, the frequency with which these parts make an appearance (like dont laugh.
Im trying to be delicate) does jar the reading to some extent.
Its a win-win situation.
Eliot, Robert Browning, and Richard Adams, to name just a few.
In the films, it will most likely just complicate matters.
For the sake of brevity and clarity, its probably best to keep such things to a minimum.
Blainethe Mono
A psychotic monorail train that likes riddles.
Surely, the films could do without that?
Well, actually, no.
This would be a real shame.
In this case, Blaine is quite literally a pain.
Oy, leave him alone!
A lot was sacrificed in Gimlis character in the name of comic relief (Nobody tosses a dwarf!
), to the extent that it became difficult at times to take him seriously.
It would be a true shame to sacrifice one for the sake of the other.
The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.
In truth, this is actually two wishes cunningly disguised as one.
Firstly, that the ending stays the same.
In some ways, the ending may seem a bit dated or a bit too tragic for the audience.
But the only way to change it would be to omit it, and this just wouldnt do.
Although, they could always just go and read the books.
