Go ahead and move this back a week. Get some breathing room from Dunkirk.

 

Sony was lurking.

I don't think moving the movie moving back a week is a sign of no confidence in the project.

people are mistaking this move of release date as a good thing. This movie is a turkey and sony has no confidence in it. It recently went through tons of reshoots and they are trying hard to fix it. Fant4stic all over again except we won't get a classic one for the ages quote from the director or anyone associated with this film.

They moved it back because August is dead as fuck and it would've been stupid if someone hadn't taken advantage of it.

So is Sony planning on releasing the trailer for this anytime soon? F8 seemed like a good choice, maybe with Covenant?

EC said the CinemaCon footage had some godawful effects, so there's a chance Sony is waiting like Passengers (?)

[Chewy]

Will probably be moved to next spring

I hope so.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

How are the effects not done? Wasn't this suppose to come out in January?

[mahnamahna]

This'll probably do something like 50/175 because there's pretty much nothing between August 4 to September 8 in terms of competition. SM - Homecoming, Emoji Movie, Dark Tower and All Saints should give Sony a solid July/August slate.

[marveldcfox]

this had disaster written all over it.

[lilmac]

Sony.  *sigh* 

 

If you can't do it right, I rather an adaption not been made for this masterpiece of a book series.

 

It's like ruining LOTR. You only get one chance at this in a generation. We got fortunate with LOTR but the Dark Tower series is up there with LOTR (imo) and I fear they screwed it up.

I agree and I really hope you're wrong...

Would probably have been better as a HBO series.

 

20 - 30 episodes spanning 2-3 seasons.

haven't read the books but considering there are quite a few I am surprised they didn't go for an HBO series

This movie is f*cked.

[MrGlass2]

The Dark Tower first movie of the 21st century to be released without a trailer!

[Nova]

In a few weeks, we will probably get another report with a new release date for this film. 

[commonsense88]

Yes this should have a trailer all ready, but have Sony did a good job at releasing any movies

[Macleod]

At this rate, Avatar 2 will beat this to theaters!

 

I expect another move.
