Say it's not so!!!!

Rumor has it that when J.J. Abrahms gets around to doing Dark Tower as either a series or movie, that it may be Christian Bale as Roland.......nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!
It feels as if there should be a full scale petition to ensure this doesnt happen, who's with me? I'd say, almost anyone but him. However, I'd give Viggo Mortensen a screen test at least. Some would argue he doesnt have the chops, and that it would be sort of a bland choice since he's already done the epic Rings trilogy....however, I've seen his movies since then, and I think he could maybe pull it off.What are your guys ideas on who should play Roland? Also, if your with me on boycotting Christian Bale on this project, speak up. Concidering building a page specifically to petition against it,lol

NO CHRISTIAN BALE!!!! Listen, I like Christian Bale, he was great in American Psycho, and perfect for batman...but that would be suuuuch a HUGE mistake for Roland. I don't know who should be Roland, probably some ruggen no name would be best, someone that no one really knows.

I like Christian Bale, and I think he would work well in that role. I'm still in petition for Hugh Laurie... he is how I picture Roland son of Steven.

Darn, Christian Bale? Why not just as Johnny Depp? Or Leonardo? OMG!!! Please, I pray to whatever God there is, do not let this wonderful story be as poorly cast as The Stand miniseries

Save the movie Sai King!!! Ms. Mod activate your super power...use your delete key on this casting!!!

I'm sure theres plenty of unharvested talent out there! I'd hoped to see an unknown actor that could be just Roland and have our attention as such while watching the movie. (and forever after like Elijah Wood as Frodo came to be)
In any case, I believe that they'll make him fit the part. No manicures now!

Christian seems like a comercialy driven choice, (for selling seats in a theatre or getting ratings) but I did picture some one slightly older. Some one who looks a little more weathered, and experience worn. I'm not a huge movie buff so it would be a stretch for me to suggest one who I would think appropriate.

Is this verifiable? Where does this rumour originate?

[michal]

Christian Bale? That's one movie adaptation I won't be seeing... That city boy is no more a cowboy-gunslinger than my 4 year old niece!

[bopropadop]

Ah, I'm okay with it. I thought he pulled off the cowboy look and feel in 3:10 to Yuma.
