Who else is excited for The Dark Tower?

I've been waiting my whole life to see this adaptation, pretty hyped here.

He's Black REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>It's a Jews take it too far episode

Seriously we need to gas these kikes for real this time

>nigger as a protagonist

not going to watch it, sorry bud

cool it with the racist posts

I'm trans-generation you bigot, I was raised in rural 1890 Georgia and you are triggering me by minimizing my word choice.

I was but after I saw the trailer it looks like hot garbage.

I think the glowing revolvers are pretty neat. Will they be in the final movie?

Jews are white bud

>guns have glowing death knight runes on them
What?

The only glowing revolver will be the "Dark Tower" if you catch my drift

gotta be honest the trailer looks like a letdown.

No release date this far along?

The trailer's tone and obvious liberties with the story mean this is Dark Tower only in name. Stephen King has always been a spineless faggot, so him pretending to approve all of this horseshit is predictable.

Its not an adaptation of the only decent book in the dark tower series. Zero hype.

>guns not blue
>guns have blue letters on them instead

I've already accepted Idris, as much as I disagree with it but the guns not being fucking blue is too much. That leaked trailer a few months ago plus no blue guns is the deal breaker.

>the movie is actually just the wheel rolling over from the end of the books, that's why retcon's

I'm surprisingly OK with this.

>I've already accepted Idris
You're an idiot

>guns were blue in the book

Can you give a source? I don't remember it. Also when you talk about "blue guns" in gunsmith is more something like pic related.

Pull your head out of your ass. Their casting shows you exactly what they intend to do. It's just sjw pandering because the source material addresses racist black woman.

The entire character of Odetta / Detta / Susan walker is overcoming ones racism. She has every reason to hate whites for the brick and the train. She carries that over to Eddie and Roland but learns to cope with it.

Race swapping undermines everything. If they address it at all, Eddie will be a single white bigoted male...Huffington Post will call it bold and brave.

I like Idris Elba, but I'm sure the script is fucked or something stupid.

Fuck this fucking piece of shit I waited years for this to get made and this is the garbage they spit it out. It's my own fault for getting my hopes up though kings adaptions are 50/50 shit

Can not relate to a black ape, dropped.

What kind of pose is that?

>I'm surprisingly OK with this.
yeah you really shouldn't be. the scope of the changes is far beyond the cyclical nature of the story.

there's cobalt in the steel of Roland's guns which imparts a slight blue tinge to the metal

>four screenwriters

This is how I know the movie is going to be terrible.

This is going to bomb there won't be a sequel

It's really windy.

Why is he standing like that?

he's dancing

the razzle-dazzle

there's a big brassy Vegas showstopper, a duet between Idris and Matthew halfway thru

Revolver Ocelot gunkata isn't exciting?

It's not like Roland is a highly skilled human with very real obstacles to overcome?

Hell, he spends half of book 2 looking for anti-biotics.

Gotta make him into a Marvel character.

here comes dat boi!

American audiences won't be impressed by a relatively subdued cool visual effect like circles being burned onto his thumbs by the heat of the gun when reloading, so instead they're going to make it obnoxiously obvious with glowing guns.

Why does Nu Hollywood think characters like Mad Max and Roland Deschain should be buff? Makes it look fake.

I'm age fluid and marginalized individual so i'm allowed to be racist

AKIVA (BATMAN & ROBIN) GOLDSMAN IS INVOLVED WITH THIS, SO IT WILL CRASH AND FUCKING BURN!!!FACT!!!

Sonic's arms are not blue!

Why is Jake some average looking 15 year old and not a beautiful 12 year old

This is me.

I was being sarcastic. I was preemptively posting what 99% of the racist faggots ITT will post.

Sup Forums will hate this because the mc is black, just like TFA, Get Out etc. Your thread will be derailed.

NAMBLA pls go.

Thoughts?

>legolas anti-grav quickloaders

fucking dead before it releases

>the scope of the changes is far beyond the cyclical nature of the story.
Agreed. But if we're going to say "fuck it, he's black now" then it's not unreasonable this is a different Roland entirely. Same role, different body, wheel in the sky keeps on turnin', etc. etc.

Stephen King "fans" hate black people. Anyways here are our boys giving us a taste of their rivalry.

>Agreed. But if we're going to say "fuck it, he's black now" then it's not unreasonable this is a different Roland entirely
well than why even bother making the movie? no one wants to see a fan-fic about Roland and his ka-tet, we want to see the events of the book adapted.

nice bantz

too bad the movie will suck ass

like you wouldn't

A lot of us do want to see a cinematic spin on the story. If you want the books then by all means read the books

If they were going to cast a black guy, couldn't they of castes a black guy that's thin, old, weathered, and beat up looking?

>a cinematic spin on the story
nice bait?

dat dab doe!

I'm looking forward to it, shame it's almost certainly going to flop

Why release the trailer 3 months before release?

It's being made by Sony so I'm sure it will be shit.

>A lot of us do want to see a cinematic spin on the story

This is what Hollywood executives actually believe.

This is the next Jared Leto method acting. Do i smell kino?

WHITES LOSE AGAIN

WHITES LOSE AGAIN

no no-one does

Kek
cringeworthy

This reads like a Chris Nolan scene

kek

I don't know anything about it but sure , Elba is a good actor and looks like another action movie.

FOR YOU

I never read the books but I was always expecting pic related. Not some generic Agents of Shield looking thing in modern day New York.

ITT: Sony shills.

Underrated

The Man in Black fled across the desert and the Nigger followed

Westworld (the series) is a much better The Dark Tower adaption.

Prove me wrong faggits, i'll wreck you mate.

the whole "is not the story of the books but what happens after the books" really put me off

Why is he standing like he thinks he's the coolest shit on the block? He looks like a giant beefy like baby in a cheap costume his mother made for him.

>The Man in Black fled across the desert and the black man followed

>called the dark tower
>he's black

>Prove me wrong
besides the only thing they have in common is western garb? Like for real user?

Have you even watched a western besides Cuckworld?

BIG BLACK TOWER

it´s funny how the tower fucks with people, in one go it gives you the horn you lost so many years ago and in other one makes you black

its a really bad photoshop. i can see pieces from at least 4 different photos

He's not toally wrong if you don't consider strictly the plot but the idea and atmosphere of a western built around a futuristic world.

i don't think westworld has moved on yet, if it was all broken down ancient shit then yea sure

I can't wait for my 4chanian Sup Forumsrothers to get mad over a black man being the lead character

*reads thread*

Yes! This is why Sup Forums rocks!

I have no idea what you are talking about since Sup Forums have been underage porn for the last years.

haven't read it? no idea what your talking about? yea thought so

I have READ the books. This is a film WATCH it on its own merits.

i wanna give jake the succ

you don't see a problem? and you've read the books? so an idiot then

You haven't seen the movie

and?

we've seen the trailer and what we have seen so far is not encouraging. come on man.

roland doesn't even go to NYC until drawing of the three

did you see jake using tech in the prim house? cause I did, explain that

if i dress like this will people laugh at me?

Explain the problem with all that within the context of the movie. You haven't seen the movie so you'll have to wait. I have doubts you'll have anything f smarter to scream than "but the books!"

The Gunslinger is pretty much that, and works fine as a standalone.

Once you get into the second book he's drawing tarot cards or some shit to teleport into someone else's body in the "real" world (Modern Earth, and in 'Murica) through different points in time, while simultaneously trying to bring the people he's possessing into his world so that they can go on an adventure together. Also he's being attacked by crab monsters while this is all going on and one of the people he possesses is a junkie and the other is a schizo crippled black lady that constantly tries to kill him.

After that they go on a wild adventure in book 3 where they fight gargantuan robot bears and their kid companion almost gets raped (but whatever, he died in the first book anyway lol) and then they find a raccoon thing that says its name over and over like some fucking mickey mouse bullshit but THEN THE REAL NIGGA SHIT STARTS UP, and they ride a psychopathic robot train that tries to kill them

After that theres a whole lotta hijinks like fighting doctor doom wolf robots with lightsabers, killing homosexual vampires and furries, one of them jumping in front of a truck to save Steven King IRL in some meta shit that I can't even wrap my head around to this day, and a giant spider baby that dies from eating bad horse meat but not before fucking up everyone including the man in black

With that said, sometimes I feel like people who are fans of the Dark Tower forget how truly awful it is after the fourth book. It has some okay moments (I for one really enjoyed the ending -- not the Crimson King part but rather the entering of the tower itself), but overall 5-8 are just god damned awful. A generic "save my universe" plot with a gunslinger and an evil devil guy is miles above what King churned out after Wizard and Glass.

I have now doubts at all, it'll be shit and make no sense implying this is the next go round confirms that

yeah you got me. my entire argument is they're going to do a shit adaptation of the books.

if you're ok with watching a beloved story get raped by a studio and 4 no-name screenwriters, then hey, more power to you. clearly you are in this movie's target demographic.

i'll wait, patiently, for my real gunslinger kino when they do the inevitable reboot.

>random ALL CAPS words

It's so easy to spot you shills.

>just buy the tickets goys!

You ain't fooling me this time merchant.

How is Detta going to call Roland a honky?

Look, Sony, you're gonna have to try harder to market this movie.

Hey that's cool if you want to wait for a faithful adaptation more power to you. Just stop kicking and screaming at the rest of us who on a board about FILMS are curious to see the film on its own merits. Please stop trying to make the rest of us miserable. Have you heard the saying "misery needs company"?

The same way she always did?
