The Dark Tower series is probably Steven King’s richest and deepest work. I hope Hollywood doesn’t mess it up too badly.
To: Lurking Libertarian
I don't think it's possible.
Even if Stephen King were intimately involved in the film-and hired that hack Mick Garris to direct it-it wouldn't diminish my connection to this series.

Russell Crowe?
There goes my whole image of it. I always envisioned more of a Clint Eastwood type of character but Eastwood is a bit old for it. Timothy Oliphant would be good.

That's one option I haven't heard too much, but I guess it does make sense.
He didn't do too badly in Deadwood.
My preference would be to skip the big names and find a competent actor who has a grasp of what the role calls for.

I read the first three books many years ago, but was The Stand sorry of connected to the story on some fashion? The Stand is one of my all time favorites. I think I have read it at least the times.

Hollywood is going to ruin my favorite work by Steven King! UGH!
I just can’t see Russell Crowe as this character!

Viggo Mortensen is another I would consider.

Yes, it is.
Randall Flagg is integral to the plot of The Dark Tower
He flits in and out of the series.

A bit old? Eastwood should be worried about breakinga hip, not slinging a gun at this point.

I wonder who would play Eddie Dean and Detta Walker.

Stephen King big time Gun Control advocate. One of his biggest books (and his only multibook series) is called...
wait for it...
wait for it...
The Gunslinger.
Hypocrisy Much Steveo?

Jason Isaacs would be about perfect for Roland.

Roland is a couple of eons old, so Clint might be perfect for the role.

I don't have any problem with Crowe, I just don't envision Roland that way. Viggo plays a fine cowboy and can also do that odd royalty of Roland's Barrony.
