I am on book IV Wizard and Glass. Anyone else read these? I am interested in seeing The Dark Tower movie. It's one of the few science fiction series that has got my interest.
The film got one of the worst reviews I've ever seen on Rotten Tomatoes. Even Idris Elba can't save it from being awful.gleem said:Read the series but I'm not too sure about the film. Films based on books so often disappoint. I did not like the TV version of "Under the Dome".. My wife does not like McConaughey so I may not see it in the theater.
I have read that too which is disappointing.phinds said:The film got one of the worst reviews I've ever seen on Rotten Tomatoes. Even Idris Elba can't save it from being awful.
Yeah, the trailer made it look like exactly the kind of semi-mindless action adventure that I enjoy but I've never found anything with anywhere near that low a rating that I've liked. I've watched a movie or two that had a 50 or so and they were, as advertised, not very good (at best). At 20, I can't imagine this one will be any good.Kerrie said:I have read that too which is disappointing.

"Dark Tower Book IV: Wizard and Glass" is the fourth installment in Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series. It follows the story of Roland Deschain, the last gunslinger, and his quest to reach the Dark Tower. In this book, Roland tells his companions the story of his past and his first love, Susan Delgado, while they travel through the wastelands of Mid-World.
Yes, "Dark Tower Book IV: Wizard and Glass" is currently in development as a movie. It is set to be a prequel to the previous "Dark Tower" movie adaptation, which was released in 2017. The movie is being produced by Sony Pictures and MRC, and is expected to be directed by Nikolaj Arcel.
So far, no official casting announcements have been made for the "Dark Tower Book IV: Wizard and Glass" movie. However, it is expected that Idris Elba will reprise his role as Roland Deschain and Matthew McConaughey will return as the Man in Black, as they did in the previous movie. Other casting details are currently unknown.
As of now, there is no official release date for the "Dark Tower Book IV: Wizard and Glass" movie. However, it is expected to begin production in 2020, so it is likely that the movie will be released sometime in 2021 or 2022. This is subject to change and may vary depending on the progress of production.
It is difficult to say for sure, as the movie is still in development. However, it is likely that the movie will follow the main plot points of the book, as the previous movie did. However, there may be some changes and adaptations made for the screen, as is common with book-to-movie adaptations. Fans of the book should be prepared for some differences in the movie version.
