The Los Angeles Times updates us on the ongoing thoughts to adapt Stephen King's beloved Dark Tower series onto the screen.
From the piece...
Howard, producer Brian Grazer and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman -- who successfully teamed up on "A Beautiful Mind" -- are talking about doing the project as not just one movie, but three. And that's not all -- because the Dark Tower story is so big, the plan is to have a television series that runs between the films. Hero Complex explains:
he target release for the first movie is 2013. The television series would then follow and bridge to the second film. After the second movie, the television series would pick up again and carry forward to the final film in the trilogy. A television series that functions as the mortar between cinematic brick? It’s an audacious plan but in a September statement Goldsman said grand-scale storytelling is needed for the grand-scale source material....
The idea hasn't yet been given the final OK by Hollywood, but the first film is said to be planned for 2013. And one important player is happy with the plans: Stephen King.
