"The Dark Tower" : The TV series?
King and Abrams in Talks for Dark Tower
Source: The Hollywood Reporter February 14, 2007 The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed an earlier IGN story that said Stephen King and J.J.

Last I heard when the seventh book came out that King would never allow a mini-series or movie to be made just because of the length and content of the series.
I sure hope I'm wrong because I'm a big fan of the series (though I think the last book sucked). I'd love to see some sort of adaptation on the screen. I think Clint Eastwood would have made a good Roland--twenty years ago. Is there any Clint Eastwood-ish actors out there now?

Eastwood was the only actor I pictured when I read the books, but of course he's too old now. I honestly can't think of anybody nowadays who might be right for the part

Dunno 'bout a series...but Marvel has just released the first issue of a comic series based on the books...supposedly king is a consultant on it too.
Great first issue.
