The Playlist spoke to Brian Grazer during the “Tower Heist” press rounds and the prolific producer, informed the site that The Dark Tower film budget has been cut back in an effort to greenlight the picture. “We found a way to cut out $45 million out of the budget without changing the scope and actually giving it a good ending,” Grazer said, suggesting a heavily re-worked approach. “In the $140 million draft, the ending wasn’t quite as satisfying. Now, we’ve got $45 million, $50 million out of the way and a really satisfying ending. It’s [...]

Last Fall we announce the Dark Tower as a big-screen trilogy and tie-in television series (to feature the same cast). The property has met with many speed bumps on the way to getting produced. Deadline reports that Universal has dropped out of the project altogether, dealing what could be a critical blow to the saga of Roland Deschain, the Gunslinger. Ron Howard was attached to the project to direct at least the first part of the series and would have overseen the rest of the massive adaptation. Javier Bardem was said to have landed [...]

Entertainment Weekly recently asked Ron Howard about The Dark Tower, the feature film and TV miniseries that the director is planning to adapt from the epic Stephen King series of sci-fi/fantasy novels about a roaming alternate-universe cowboy named Gunslinger.

I can’t really say who’ll be in it yet, but Javier Bardem [...]

In the series based on Stephen King’s magnum opus, Roland Deschain is the last living member of a knightly order of gunslingers and humanity’s last hope to save a civilization that will fall unless he finds the Dark Tower.

I can't say Dark Tower is my favorite song on Miniature Tigers' 2010 album Fortress – that distinction belongs to Rock N' Roll Mountain Troll (which is even better live) – but it does seem like a perfect fit for the band's performance for Yours Truly , which was unveiled earlier this month. The song's somber mood settles nicely into the chandelier-adorned atmosphere of a room at Kitsch Gallery in San Francisco . I'm also mildly curious about what movie/images [...]
