And now I have truly become The Dark Tower

And now I have truly become The Dark Tower.
Fuck this shit.

whats with the lame tacticool vest. That doesn't look very western

Isn't he too bloated to be a gunslinger?

Is Idris Elba a meme? When did he ever star in a movie that didn't suck balls?

Stop shitposting user

He's alright but not great.
Denzel is getting old and they need a replacement.

Nailed it

I'm not seeing good movies here

Why does he have the same fucking haircut in every film. Do something different for fuck sake

looks like the identical costume he wore in ghost rider 2

Looks based desu

...

Who's the inferior one here? I have NEVER heard whites bitching about this move, while blacks bitch about gods of egypt where egyptians, WHO WEREN'T EVEN FUCKING BLACK IN THE FIRST PLACE, aren't black. SAD!

Not a single good movie.

What a pathetic nigger

That's the outfit they're going for?
Ahahaha. Aha. Haah. I'm not laughing. I'm crying.

I bet your mother would like a taste of his Dark Tower.

>White character now black
>Black character story now altered to accommodate diversity

JUST

looks nothing like a cowboy and why is he in a city?

The book never says he is white.

>Sup Forums echo chamber venting their cuck rage and despair about a movie they weren't going to watch
epic thread

this is not even bait
did you read the books?

Yes

>Blue eyes, pale skin, clint eastwood type

Yeah I always thought he was a jap

aren't you special, and btw a black roland would fuck up the story line of an actual black character in the book you mong.

and why does it matter?

For an "English" guy he has a really bad English accent.
>WE ORE CANSULLIN THEE APOKOLOYPSE
Wew.

Like what? He's a black guy. Two choices: Afro or no afro.

And that outfit looks more sci-fi than western.

This movie is going to be shit isn't it.

He's black, what do you want?

He can go either big fro, mini fro, really short, or bald

Because the actor in question does not suit the role so completely that the storyline of the book has to be changed to accommodate him.

>Luther
>bad

Granted it's a tv-show but he's fantastic in it.

>Because the actor in question does not suit the role so completely that the storyline of the book has to be changed to accommodate him.
again, are you upset about the bad casting or do you think it's some political anti-white statement that's ment to pander to blacks/the left? because bad casting has happened before but for some "reason" this thread reeks of angry Sup Forumsacks

HE'S A NIGGER YOU NU MALE CUK
HE'S NIGGING UP MY STEPHEN KING

Either off-set or drawing of the three part?

Bad casting, I can see to some extent why they chose him, for what is essentially a risky 7 movie franchise they want a star and at the moment he is more or less a free agent (other than bit parts in Thor), a lot of other actors are tied up in other franchises, still I don't think it would have been overly difficult to find someone else, Fassbender probably won't do another X Men but who knows.

If the writing is good it will be good, Irdis Ebola isn't even a bad actor...and realistically the only a person who looks like a middle age Clint Eastwood is gonna nail the look

...

The Dark Tower is his penis.

>Idris Elba
>meme
Watch Beasts of No Nation

...

I'll bet that for the general population it'll be a decent movie. But for me, the dark tower series is the best book series I've ever read. They're butchering the story.

They can't do any worse than King did after book 5.

The role was made for Clint. The man is waY too old. Anyone else - black, white, or other - will seem strange. I'm fine with idra.

Too young. Not sure he'd be any better a fit.

They also need to nail the casting of the other characters

This

What a shitshow that became. Every book was worst than the previous book imo

>writing yourself in your own book as a character
>making the guy who ran you over a complete trash character

Imagine the fucking outrage of the black community if the main character in the books was black and producers decided to whitewash him.

Are you saying that it's better to have an actor closer to age of the main character from the book but a black one, that to have someone really resembling him but younger??
Also, there's Viggo Mortensen

His accent was pretty bad in that movie.

>Not sure he'd be any better a fit.
Hes better fit just by not being black.

What was up with that? Memeing aside, dude is a really good actor and his accents are always spot. Then a movie comes up where he gets to play with what should be his natural accent and it's all over the place. WTF was that?

I think he was just like, "Giant robots or something, paycheck, whatever..."

And there you go...

It's Viggo Mortensen. That's Roland. If it wasn't him, it was a bad decision. He's literally perfect for the role. There is no one anywhere near as perfect of a Roland as Viggo. Maybe Eastwood fifty years ago but I mean now.

>Idris Elba has dar skin and never wore a stetson before

oh noes

Amazingly Eastwood's son is the spitting image of him. Too bad he's a mediocre actor.

luther was fucking shit. why cant the british keep up with US television?

>someone really resembling him

It's not a real person. The book isn't even a visual medium. So what if he's described as looking like Eastwood? It doesn't fucking matter.

>Someone can't resemble a physical description in a book because the character isn't real

wot m8?

>Matthew McConaughey as the man in black

Not sure how to feel about this desu

its not even about his skill.

its about destroying half the books story. One of the first persons the MC meets is a black woman from the 60s with a mental disorder. Race is a huge fucking point of her character because she hates whites including the main character.

>its about destroying half the books story

You mean a few chapters of one of 7 books.

Blue

Eyes

It ruins the background story of the only black character in the book. So you end up with two black people in the movie. That are.. just black.

There's no prerequisite for fidelity when adapting. And frankly, white boys are going to be a more boring choice more often than not.

Detta isn't in this though and for good reason, actually. This isn't an adaptation, it's Roland's next journey. He has the horn this time. No shit, this has been confirmed.

Detta/Odetta/Susannah-mio didn't go with him to the DT, she's free now. Of course she wouldn't be there for the next journey. She broke her cycle. Roland was foolish and pushed on and look where it got him.

she will instead become an evil white klanswoman who is eventually rescued through the virtue of miscegenation

Not far from the books really

>white actor is man in black
>black actor is originally-white character

What did they mean by this?

She can still be racist against Eddie. Problem solved.

Better solution? Drop the whole racist thing entirely. It's not interesting and has no long term ramifications.

>confirmed
hmm

>white boys are going to be a more boring choice more often than not.

It's like the James Bond thing. It's not just that there have been like what, six James Bonds already, and a black guy for a movie or two wouldn't hurt anyone, it's that all spies are white guys. Every single one. Apart from like, Xander Cage?

>Better solution? Drop the whole racist thing entirely. It's not interesting and has no long term ramifications.

But Dettas whole personality is about hating white guys.

So what are they gonna do? Making her hating men?


oh boy

>But Dettas whole personality is about hating white guys.

Well no, it isn't. That's a part of her personality for one book before she accepts them and moves on. Her being crazy is a bigger part of her personality than her being racist.

>black people in the movie. That are.. just black

That's... good.

pretty bad movie, bad acting all around but shoehorned black man so 10/10 and a couple oscar nominations

yeah but they loose all their personality and differences.

It will make them boring.

He has Roland's personality.q

making eddie or jake black would have a lesser impact on the whole story.

Yes but the actors that they wanted for those roles weren't black. Idris is.

...
What?

But...Roland's race is actually important to certain character developments and the world in general.

The fuck, should have been josh brolin

>to certain character developments

For one part of one book.

>and the world in general

lol no

Everyone knows based old man Viggo would make a perfect Roland at this point.

Also Sam Rockwell as Eddie.

Ian McShane as RF.

Detta specifically calls them white several times while they have her tied up

You're just rationalising your racism at this point, which makes me think you're more passively racist than maliciously racist, so hopefully you're just young and will grow out of it. There's literally no need to marginalise Idris Elba here (when is there ever?), but you're doing mental gymnastics in order to justify doing so.

He comes from a wild west version of arthurian legend. And even then he's a part of a noble line in that setting.
You can bet your ass everyone there is white and if anyone was black it would be noted more than once by characters every couple of pages.

Tens of thousands of years after King Arthur. A race of people can change a lot in that time, especially since the world has moved on.

>yfw Clint Eastwood cameos as Cort in a flashback

Yeah, no. Reread the drawing of the three and wasteland again.

And again, Gilead is basically white paradise

Idris is only 4 years older. Looking (maybe) a tad older doesn't trump being a far better fit for the character.

Malcolm X movie with a white Malcolm WHEN?

Dont know why you are all complaining, you better get used to the idea of blacks taking major roles from now on until they have a black Jesus, Bond and a Game of Thrones remake with all black actors.

That's niggers for you. That's why I find all the cuckposting hilarious. Women want guys that all look the same and can only have either a buzzcut or disgusting afros? Sure thing kids

>yfw Passion of the Christ remake starring Don Cheadle

Some of you neckbeards really need to give it a rest. I hate political agenda in movies as much as the next guy(female bond, new ghostbusters, black hermoine) but Idra is a very good choice for this role. It isnt consistent with the books, but its a minor detail that can easily be rewritten. Im more concerned with the director.

Also this user is right

Hugh Jackman would be literally perfect.

...

...

>Meme-man bad good guy

pls no

What the fuck are you talking about?

What's that Mads movie?

>dark tower refers to his cock

The Salvation

So what's this book about? Some redneck cowboy? If it's Stephen King then there's monsters right?

Is it good?
