Garbage confirmed. I feel another Fan4stic coming on.

 

Except this one stars a couple of prestige actors, lol

lmao. I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the 60M budget.

[DAJK]

Well, the first Dark Tower book IS extremely short. How close is the movie supposed to follow it?

[That One Girl]

Rated PG-13 for thematic material including sequences of gun violence and action.

It's supposed to be a.. Hmmm... Meta-sequel to it? Alternative version of it? Something like that.

 

But yeah, the first book's length is pretty much the thing that makes me say "ok, could work out fine" to this movie's length.

Kinda hope this isn't a dud. I like Idris Elba and McConaughey in a villainous role is a novelty.

[Blaze Heatnix]

According to Scott Mendelson from Forbes, this movie is gonna get screened for critics...

He played a great one in Killer Joe imo.

I assume a "not" is missing in there somewhere. I'll do the honors for @CJohn: RIP this movie.

People were ready to declare this movie dead before the first trailer even dropped(check back) so eh, whatever, I'll be there unless the reviews make it sound like it's nothing like the actual books.

There is nothing missing...:)

 

Movie will get screened, if what Mendelson said, is true. XD

95 minutes does seem very short for this type of movie. I was expecting at less 120 minutes.

But this don't look like a good movie anyway. 

[robertman2]

This looks pretty mediocre. On almost every level

[Napoleon]

 

There's a reference to IT in the beginning of this spot.

[TalismanRing]

95 minutes not including probably 8-10 minutes of credits?   Damn.

 

Finally saw the trailer on the big screen and it was sadly underwhelming. 

 

I just don't know how they could mess up the book when it's so damn streamlined and is the easiest Dark Tower to translate to the screen, maybe even the easiest King book.

[ClaudeManhattan]

I have no confidence in this movie's box office performance.

That kind of also looks like the Overlook Hotel too.

[Ethan Hunt]

I cannot escape this god damn trailer
