I think he's a good fit for the role, actually.

He's a good actor, but I am not sure if he really looks right (for me). Of course over about 6,000 pages of Roland as the main character, you build up an image of him in your mind...Javier will do a good job I am sure, but my image of Roland is a young Clint Eastwood or Russell Crowe. Tough, weathered, with a deadly stare...

Hope they don't mess it up, and I hope the movies are long (if they did it right, they would do a movie for every one of the 7 books). For the sake of the length of the movie, stuff will have to be cut (especially for The Drawing of the Three and The Waste Lands) - but I hope they effort to preserve the real storyline and include all the major scenes...

Cautiously optimistic about the whole project, anxious to see what it looks like.

Interesting that it was announced as finalised on that site, but not by the moderator (who I believe is his assistant) on the Stephen King message board. Until it's actually finalised, I'll believe it when I see it.

I did know that he was asked. I think he would be pretty good as well.

The preliminary release date is May 17, 2013.

17/05/2013.

1+7+0+5+2+0+1+3 = 19

I'm not surprised.

Actually just noticed that the moderator is on vacation and there are no new posts so it could very well be close to being finalised. I am curious how the rest of the cast shapes up.

The series is made up of seven books — so far — with an eighth novel, The Wind Through the Keyhole, planned for publication next year, and set between his previous fourth and fifth books (Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla). The thing is already written...
