    It opens with footage of a door frame standing free in the middle of a baron landscape, and then it cuts to Roland in the desert as the famous opening line to King's The Gunslinger, the first volume in the series, is displayed on screen: "The man in Black fled across the Desert, and the Gunslinger followed.” 

     

    Roland and the Man in Black then square off, with Roland telling the villain, "I do not kill with my gun, I kill with my heart." He fires at The Man in Black, who catches the bullet from behind his back.

     

    It then cuts to Jake, who lives in New York but has dreams of Roland and a Dark Tower that must stay standing or else billions will die. His therapist tried to tell him it's a dream, but Jake doesn't believe it. Soon, he is shown exploring an abandoned building, where he discovers a portal that takes him to Roland's world. 

     

    Soon, he presents Roland with one of the drawings the boy made of him from his dreams, and Roland explains that as long as the Man in Black is out there, the Tower will fall and Hell will follow. 

     

    There are slow-mo shots, including a big fight between the Gunslinger and the Man in Black, as well as an extended look at Roland's prowess with his guns: when Jake is kidnapped, Roland shoots the man who did it from hundreds of yards away, simply by listening to where the man is.

    So when does Sony's presentation start and where do I find it?

    It's supposed to be right now. The presentation is for exhibitors and journalists only, so there's no online stream. The best place to look for info seems to be Twitter. (Although I've heard the Wi-Fi's shit, so tweets will probably be slow.)

    Can't wait for the Pirates reviews. The movie must be good if they are screening it so far in advance

    I believe the Cinemacon screenings are given an embargo. At least I think so. I definitely remember Inside Out had an embargo, but I don't know about any other movies.
