IDRIS ELBA & MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY CLASH IN 'THE DARK TOWER'

Reel Sum Up... 

Roland, the last Gunslinger (Idris Elba) is locked in an eternal battle with the villainous ‘Man in Black’ (Matthew McConaughey).  The Gunslinger must prevent the Man in Black from toppling the Dark Tower, the key that holds the universe together. With the fate of worlds at stake, two men collide in the ultimate battle between good and evil. Along for the ride is Jake (Tom Taylor), Roland’s protégé  who has to complete the journey with him.  

The Dark Tower  is an adaptation and sequel of Stephen King’s 8 volume Dark Tower novel series- Volume 1( The Gunslinger)  published  in 1982 and Volume 8 (The Wind Through The Keyhole) published in 2012. Add yet another  feather in your cap Mr. King; so many of your books have made it to film and T.V already!

 Since The Dark Tower is in eight parts, why can’t the powers that be (King himself one of the film’s producers)  simply give Game of Thrones a run for their money by simply  making it into a T.V series instead?

 Apparently not, because this film is to be the first instalment of a film AND T.V franchise, which will combine elements from several novels in the  series, taking place partly in modern-day New York City and partly in Mid-World, Roland's  Old West-style parallel universe.  If you are an ardent Stephen King fan, you are in for a very  exciting ride. 

The Dark Tower will be released on the 4th of August, 2017.
