Ok.. Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I'm not sure where to put it.
So I've been thinking about how cool it would be if there was a dark tower movie made... With the following actors.

Viggo Mortensen as Roland Deschain

I actually made the following fantasy cast list last night:
Roland
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_FVEusoCD7Vw/SuUgGClfBTI/AAAAAAAACQE/fkS9gM5AAPA/s800/DQ.png
Dennis Quaid, so long as you could keep him from grinning like an idiot like he seems prone to do. Has dark hair, blue eyes, and looks especially rugged when he's sporting a 5 o'clock shadow. Plus he has the deep voice needed that other possibles like Hugh Laurie and Viggo Mortensen sort of lack.
Eddie
http://cdn.buzznet.com/media/jj1//2008/08/gyllenhaal-shirtless/jake-gyllenhaal-shirtless-prince-of-persia-02.jpg
Jake Gyllenghaal. The pic is just an example of him with shaggy hair, though he'd need to wear hazel green contacts.
Susannah
http://mrsmvp.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/jada-pinkett-smith1.jpg
Jada Pinkett looks the part to me and I think she could pull off a Detta pretty well.
Jake
I think Jake's actor doesn't need to be famous. Any young teenage boy with sandy blond hair and blue eyes could fill the role.
I also had some ideas for some of the more minor characters.
Walter
I can't think of anyone who could possibly be better than Willem Dafoe. As Randall Flagg though they might want to have a different actor.
Callahan
James Cromwell. What can I say? They did a good job casting him in 'Salem's Lot.
Mia
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FVEusoCD7Vw/SuUixViYq_I/AAAAAAAACQM/kC_mZz2nSU4/s144/CF.png
Claire Forlani. She has the face, hair, body. I think she could pull off the "innocent" look better than someone like Angelina Jolie for instance.
Eldred Jonas
http://thezaz.nationallampoon.com/files/2009/08/06-sam-elliott-mustache.jpg
Sam Elliott. Nuff Said.

mmm... Shia Labeouf? Don't know if I'd want to see him as Eddie. I LIKE Eddie and I really think a soft-spoken, clean faced Shia would be very unconvincing as an x-drug addict. Not enough charm for my taste...
I like you other ideas though. Do you really think they'd make this movie? I know there are many talks and big names running around this project, but I remain very skeptic.

Just a request to Ms. Mod. Can you make a sticky Dark Tower Movie thread where all chat about that topic can go into instead of just having multiple threads on one topic?

The title of this one is as good as any so have pinned it. I can't go back through the other threads to add them in here, though, as I've got too much else on my plate at the moment.

Sam Elliiott as Eldred Jonas is perfect,an exact copy of the Jonas I saw in my mind's eye. I also like Jada and Rosario for Susannah.
I don't really agree with either of the "Rolands." They have that gritty feel, but they don't seem "cool" enough. That's not quite right, but they just don't do it for me.

Best choice for Susannah Dean in my opinion:
Naomi Harris from 28 Days Later, the Pirates movies, and Miami Vice. She has the looks, acting chops, and what seems to be the physical prowess to pull off the role.

the enormity of even attempting to bring the dt to a screen (big or small) would be a daunting, moneygobbling endeavor: i'm hopping that they hire mostly unknowns...
all these 'stars', big and little, will cost way too much...: there be fanciful things, sceneries unseen in any other type of movie...
they need to take a que from good old george lucas, back in the days before anyone knew anything about long ago galaxies, and hire undiscoverd, but, nonetheless good, talent and sign 'em up for the long haul
if they start this thing, they need to finish it: i can't really see any of these relatively big-named stars sticking around for 5, 10 years (or more !) for a realistic salary..while most of the sets don't need to be anything special..
some of them do...
and there-in lies the quagmire of a humongous budget-busting beast

Here's the actors of the characters I've visualized:
ROLAND:
Viggo, not bad...I see Clint Eastwood (he's obviously too old now)
but has anyone considered Hugh Jackman (since he looks like eastwood)
EDDIE:
No trendy young actors will do...I really can't visualize anyone other than
Cillian Murphy (batman begins - dr crane)
SUSANNAH:
Rosario Dawson isn't a good enough actor to pull it off!
IMO...Naomi Harris, nice call *rvialet* (Tia Dalma - Pirates of the Caribbean)
JAKE:
wouldn't really make or break the cast...as long as the kid can act
ELDRED JONAS:
Sam Elliot of course!
TICK TOCK MAN:
Mickey Rourke
CORAL THORIN:
Rosanna Arquette
PERE CALLAHAN:
Clint Eastwood
SUSAN DELGADO:
Scarlett Johansson - bleach blond
Though she's too old (for the Susan character?)
SHERIFF AVERY:
John Goodman...?

There are some great suggestions here. IMO, I doubt that a film version is ever going to be made. The story is just too big and the only way it would be feasible, time-wise or money-wise, would be to cut a great deal - something I don't think any of us wants to see happen. However, it's always fun to speculate on who would be cast if it ever happens.
Personally, I have to agree with guido. I think too many big names is going to make the budget skyrocket in no time flat considering the length and depth of the story. Additionally, I've always felt that if there are more than say 4-5 big names in the same movie it just kinda takes something away from it. I'd like to see mostly unknown actors filling most of the parts.
That said, I think Hugh Jackman would be a great Roland, and Norman Reedus would make an interesting Eddie.

Now that man looks perfect for Eddie, I was also thinking the actor who played Larry Underwood in The Stand, but he might be too old now.
As for Roland, Clint Eastwood would have been perfect in his salad days, but I am just not sure who could the role justice now..

If The Dark Tower is to ever be done on screen I think %100 CGI would be the only way to go. There is way too much negative potential in the realm of casting to do this with live actors. If DT is ever done in cinema it better be done %100 right or not done at all!

Okay, so I haven't been a big supporter of making a Dark Tower movie (I already have visions of the characters in my head and don't want that messed up!), however, Mousey has come up with some good possibilities...and Sam Elliot is definitely Eldred Jonas!

I absolutely agree with about the Clint Eastwood and Hugh Jackman comparison and since Roland was supposed to be the Sergio Leone spaghetti western version of Clint Eastwood i think Sai Jackman would be perfect for the part, i just wished he had the cool, calm, collective, but deathly attitude that Sai Mortensen is able to capture.

I really like that show True blood my guilty pleasure i call it. I sorta like Rutina Wesley as susannah, she's got that tuff girl quality about her that Susannah has. yet she can be very cute and kind. if you watch her in true blood she is sorta like that charactor in DT.

All of the "casting" here is great! I love hearing everyone's ideas. -- Ever since my first reading of The Gunslinger, I've had Lance Henriksen stuck in my head. He's a little older now, but he's always the one I imagine.

I hope they do not make DT into a movie (or series) Just look what everyone's different imaginative 'eye' had as ideas for actors to play the roles. I personally love Sam as Jonah. Course color his hair a tad and TADA, he's Roland. Cuba as Sheemie? (As in Radio character?) That's why I read, to let my imagination take over. Just my opinion and 5 billion blah blah blah

I guess that's why J.J. Abrams has quit the job as director for darktower. he said " I'm such a massive Stephen King fan that I'm terrified of screwing it up (http://www.cinematical.com/2009/11/10/j-j-abrams-not-adapting-kings-dark-tower-series/)."
The big problem with the dark tower as a movie is casting a child actor who will not grow up so fast. like what happen's with all movies with child actors.:glare:

I pictured Eddie Dean as being a little older....anyone for Brad Pitt? (please don't hammer me, I'm only kidding)
A young Clint Eastwood would do fine as Roland. Roland's age isn't mentioned in the book, so let's have Clint anyway.

so is this movie going to happen then? i'm pretty up in the air about it, i'm reading dt for the third time and there is just so much in the books that they can't bring to a movie screen. so much of the story is what is going on in the characters heads and you just can't pull that off on a movie screen. however, it would have the potential to be something epic if it was done perfectly. but most of kings books didn't translate well to movies or tv whether it was from bad acting or just having to cut so many things to make it fit into a 2 hour movie. for instance the stand, which is my all time favorite book, i thought was terrible on tv. the acting was pretty subpar. anyways, as for the actors, i think the best thing would be to use a bunch of unknowns who can look and play the part well.

Brett Favre was the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, an American football team in the NFL, for many years. He was then traded to the New York Jets, retired, came out of retirement and played for the Minnesota Vikings. Conicidentally, he is commonly referred to as "the old gunslinger" for his style of play. If you do a search for his images, you may find he looks the part and if you can find him talking in a commercial, you may see what I mean regarding my perceived similarities between the him and Roland.
Stand and be true.

I just don't see how this could be done. Not in a movie or even 12. It's just too much. Look at "Stand By Me". A great adaptation of one of Steve's stories, but still had to have certain things cut from the movie for whatever reason. The point is that is a fairly short story and it made a full blown movie that still had to be truncated. Translating the DT over would be a mind-numbingly complex undertaking that would frankly probably piss most real fans off anyway. I would love it if it was done accurately and stayed true to the story, but don't see anyway to do it except a very long animated/CGI series. Maybe an HBO recurring series. Even in that format, it would take YEARS to tell it properly. If I was Steve, I would simply be too protective of that particular story to let it be done with nothing more than "best effort".

I dont understand all the moaning about a translation to film. If a passionate extreamly talented crew get it together it could be better than LOTR. Maybe 2 versions could exist, tv series an film. I read the Lost guys are not doin it, but they could still help out. This film NEEDS to be made before we lose the fire. lol (sorry about the lol) Stand an be true!

hossenpepper, I disagree with you. The Harry Potter series proved that you can film a multi-novel series effectively. No film is like the book but there are certainly parts of the DT series that a film could do without (Brown & Zultan from book 1 for instance). Just remember, it's always the director's adaptation or vision of the book you are seeing, not the author's (or yours).

For me, this is not really about my vision. I realize that could never be what completely comes across, so it mroe about it being as close to all inclusive and the story as possible. I hear what you are saying about excess storylines/events. Valid points all.
The Gunslinger, for instance, is short enough in just pure page count that it could be a very good 2-3 hour movie. Drawing of Three treads into possibly 2 movies. Beyond that, only Song of Susannah is "short" enough to even consider putting into a single movie, while maintaining the whole story. The rest of the books are just too long, too much happens and it just seems to me that to try to cram them into a single, even 3hr plus, movie would force them to cut a lot of the progression and back story elements. Then it becomes: What do you cut? Who makes that decision? I read somewhere that Steve has been pondering retirement eventually and it seems this would make sure that never happened if he was intimately involved. I personally wouldn't want to see it if Steve didn't have a least a tacet involvement in the project. The story is just too important.

That guy would be a terrible Eddie Dean, I'm sorry, that would destroy everything for me.
Viggo Mortenson would make great Roland and so would that chick you chose for Susannah but your choice for Eddie is very bad. Jared Leto would make the best Eddie Dean I think, and Jake Gyllenhal would be runnerup. Here's a pic of Jared Leto. He was a heroin addict in Requiem for a Dream too and he played the part splendidly and very much resembled the character from the book. I think he'd make the best Eddie.

I was looking at The Wastelands yesterday at the illustrations and specifically the one of Roland. Based on that illustration, I think this actor LOOKS like that depiction a lot. Whether or not he could pull off the role, I don't know, but he has the look.

His name is Ty Burrell. He is a main character on Modern Family on ABC and was also in the Dawn of the Dead remake.
