I've got no problem with that, really enjoyed him as Chigur in No Country. Off the top of my head, Viggo Mortensen would be my choice to play Roland.

I agree!! Or Eastwood if they could go back in time lol

Because of Aragorn no doubt. The similarities in the character are many...

Basically, yeah. Similar characters and he did such a good job as Aragorn and just seems like a natural fit.

Agreed. He would do a great job.

Maybe it's just me, and maybe it has something to do with that horse movie he made, but I REALLY hate Vigo Mortensen. Never saw or read Aragorn, and never read the Dark Tower series, but as soon as I see Vigo Mortensen is in a movie, I already like it a bit less.

this actually seems like a pretty good choice... I thought Daniel Craig would be good fit...

After much pondering, I have come to the conclusion that Sam Elliot is the only choice for this role. This decision comes only 2 days after watching the Big Lebowski, mind you...

iv been reading in some circles the the dude off of house would be a good choice. he is tall and gaunt, but i dont think that he would be able to bring the right attitude to the role. Sam Elliot would be good, and I wonder if they could make him look a bit younger for the role, like they did with whats his name form Tron.

Hugh Laurie is a fairly versatile actor, and he's got the right look I think. I don't know, it's hard to say who would do Roland the most justice until we actually see the character put to life.

I think that whomever it is we will either love it or hate it.

Ah man, I think I'll blow the dust off the books in my study and read them all again. This series gave me so much inspiration in high school. I’ve just really been wrapped up in my life and forgot all about it, thanks for the reminder!!

I need to read the Dark Tower again. When I was reading it years ago, King had only gotten to Wizard and Glass, and in the interim of waiting for Wolves of the Calla I forgot about the series. Really enjoyed the first four books, I flew through those at a phenomenal pace. Once I finish reading The Wheel of Time series, at least as far along as it it, this is gonna be high on my reading list.

Joe, do you have the rest of the series? If not, I have no problem letting you borrow the rest if you don't want to buy them. By the way, they are the hardback version.

I don't Todd, I was just going to purchase them for my Nook, but if I can borrow yours, I'm all for saving a few $$. Thanks for the offer.

Not sure these will fit in your Nook, yeah that just sounds wrong, but I should be able to dig them out for you by next week.

+1...For me, most times the movie is a great big letdown...It really takes away from the majesty of the book series.

Definitely mixed emotions for me if it is truly cancelled for good. While I know I would probably be dissapointed in the movie in one way or another, I was curious as hell to see how it would turn out. Oh well...
