The Dark Tower – Serie unabhängig vom Film

Und das ist auch die beste Nachricht an dieser News. Denn der Film war leider einfach nicht gut. Bei jeder Gelegenheit die sich bot tiefer in die Materie einzutauchen, drehte sich die Kamera um und fuhr einfach fort, ohne den Zuschauer mitzunehmen. Im Interview mit Vulture verrät Stephen King persönlich das die Serie nicht an den Film gekoppelt ist.

The major challenge was to do a film based on a series of books that’s really long, about 3,000 pages. The other part of it was the decision to do a PG-13 feature adaptation of books that are extremely violent and deal with violent behavior in a fairly graphic way. That was something that had to be overcome, although I’ve gotta say, I thought [screenwriter] Akiva Goldsman did a terrific job in taking a central part of the book and turning it into what I thought was a pretty good movie. The TV series they’re developing now … we’ll see what happens with that. It would be like a complete reboot, so we’ll just have to see.
