Fresh Out of the Oven: “The Dark Tower: The Fall of Gilead” #2 and “The Stand: American Nightmares” #3

The Dark Tower - The Fall of Gilead #2

Some good stuff in this issue, much of it involving the resolution of Roland being discovered as Gabrielle’s killer.  I like the fact that Peter David and Robin Furth didn’t decide to have Roland deny the deed; it would have sucked and been totally out of character for the gunslinger to lie about the incident just to cover his own ass.  Similarly, later on in the issue, when Roland is resigned to the idea of being hanged for his crime, his fatalism seems very much like what Stephen King’s young Roland would be like.  It’s this kind of thing that has helped make these comics such a pleasure for Dark Tower fans.

When Might We See Bad Robot’s “The Dark Tower”?

by on May.05, 2009, under Movies, Stephen King

While out promoting Star Trek, J.J. Abrams took a few moments to address the status of the rumored Bad Robot adaptation of Stephen King’s Dark Tower cycle.

As much as I would love to see Roland, the original honk mahfah himself, kicking ass up on cinema screens over the course of a seven-film series, how much cooler would it be for Abrams to take this property to HBO as a multi-season, hard-R series?
