I agree, you just have to look at the tv series they did of The Stand to see that it can't be made right!!

I've never read the Dark Tower series. My brother has. He thinks they're great, so I've added them to my things to read list. Based on the suggestions other people are making, I think Josh Brolin might be a good pick. He did a good job as the villain in True Grit. He's about in his late 30s or early 40s, I think. Dennis Quaid, on the other hand, is about 50. Is Roland that old? If so, Harrison Ford would be too old. What about George Clooney? He's not a great actor, but he did an excellent job in Michael Clayton. Maybe he would be able to connect with the character of Roland equally well.

Did Javier ever officially accept the part? Which by the way think he would be an excellent choice for the part. Although the Spanish accent may be kind of funky.

I just watched No Country for Old Men this weekend and I couldn't detect any trace of his accent in that part.

Have to agree with you there. I just recently saw the movie too and didn't notice the accent.

I saw N.C.F.O.M too, didn't notice an accent. What I DID notice was a stone-cold killer who had an ageless quality that, with a decent haircut and the proper clothes, would make a great Gunslinger.

While reading the books, I imagined the characters- - - - -javiar, Brolin- - -both good actors, but Viggo has proven his ability to vascilate between the very quiet desperation of his "The Road" character, and the kingly voice of Aragorn with great dramatic effect. To me, he IS Roland- - - -and Shia LeBeouff is most definitely Eddie. Susannah: Zoe Salandar, as she has immense physical prowess as the Susannah character must have. Jake- - - -somebody new with some "grit" for his age- - -can't be too much of a pretty boy. Pere Callahan would have been played very well by Richard Harris, if he were still with us. Gotta be Viggo to get the desperation and exhaustion over.
