I would really love it if they would make a movie of the dark tower books.Even if it was a made for TV movie like" the stand" that takes several nights to see. I think Hugh Jackman would make the perfect Roland.....

Hi,

Welcome to the MB, and keep posting!

If you use 'Search Forum' in the Movie Forum you'll find plenty palaver about the movie.

Long days and pleasant nights

Well, J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof(Lost, The Fringe) are working on it.

my idea was Lauren Hill a few years ago...now though? hhmmmm....maybe Halle Berry, if she knocks off the diva attitude

The only character that I can really settle on for who the actor should be is Cort. I picture Brendan Gleesan playing Cort so perfectly, but I really can't settle on a perfect Roland. I think Jada Pinkette-Smith could make a good Susannah.

I was thinking ,, Hugh Laurie or Thomas Hayden Church for Roland.

How about Viggo Mortinsen as Roland? I can totally picture him in the role! Also Jake Gyllenhall as Eddie Dean! I don't know if he's smart-ass or New York enough though. Jada as Susannah makes perfect sense to me!

I picture Detta as the girl that plays Calypso in Pirates of the Carribbean! She's also in Street Kings, and in that movie I can totally see her as Susannah. Her name is Naomie Harris.
And this is kind of funny to me, but while I read the books, I always heard Cort's voice as Rip Torn's!
I saw the cover of this movie or tv show (whatever it is) in a store and it literally stopped me in my tracks. It's called The Quick and the Dead, and on the cover is Steven Deschain (for me at least). The actor is Sam Elliot. Check it out!
