Brrrr i'm ranting now, i won't even get started about how kids don't read enough now a days lol...

Hi,

Not ranting IMO.

I agree, and I wonder how DT7 will work on the screen when everyone will know the ending, but SFA about the journey?

Certainly the ending will have lost all of it's impact by then, I think.

Long days and pleasant nights

I don't know why people got so upset about the ending. a story doesn't always have a happy ending. I actually like the ending it reminded me that life is a wheel......remember.......

You think SK will do a cameo of himself in the movie, when he meets Roland in his kitchen? Wouldnt that be awesome? CGI can make him look like 70s King too. Assuming those scenes make it to the screen.

What a grand idea!

Pee Ess - I dreamed recently that they used the original Ennio Morricone music from the spaghetti westerns but remixed by one of the current crop of remixers - David Guetta, Tiesto or Jay-Z maybe. Well, it sounded great in the dream anyway!

Wow! You dream good dreams, John!

[Ducky]

Oh, this is good news--worth drinking over! And I'm so glad it won't be Viggo--he's a fine actor, but for me, he's no Roland. "The man in black fled across the desert, and the dude that played Aragorn followed..." Ugh...

Hi,

Aye, I had a dream about the music recently, believe it or not.

And the incidental music was all Morricone's but remixed and brought RIGHT up-to-date by one of the current crop of remixers - David Guetta, Tiesto or Jay-Z came to mind.

Long days and pleasant nights

I think this is a perfect idea!

Wow! You dream good dreams, John!

Hi,

Aye, indeed I do, I just wish I could remember more of them.

But you can hear Morricone's iconic music being revisited for the 21st century to great effect, can't you?

Long days and pleasant nights

Pee Ess - T-Bone Burnett for overall music supervisor!

T-Bone Burnett

Thinking about that---- we all were read Disney's stories,thus knowing the endings, yet the movie versions were still something special. Think Cinderella, Snow White.
I tend to think for those who never read the books, the movies will give similar reactions as those we experienced in reading.
IMO, for those who did read the books, the ending will be a lesson re told- Ka is a wheel. And hopefully all will come to understand that it "is the journey not the ending" that mattered most.
Did knowing the ending spoil your re reads? Not for me- knowing the ending gave me freedom to relax and enjoy the journey all the more. And as the ending approached, I became even more one with Roland and experienced Ka.
Certainly the ending will have lost all of it's impact by then, I think.

My suggestion to anyone who hasnt read the series is to get to work asap. Well you have 2 years so take your time on them. If I knew the ending before I read the books I dont think I would enjoy the journey as much. JMO.
