“Star Trek’s” JJ Abrams drops the huge bomb that he reveals that he scored the rights to Stephen King’s “Dark Tower” series to make them into theaterical films. JJ and his partner Damon Lindelof, said they will not work on “Dark Tower” until they finish the “Lost” hit TV series. No word if JJ Abrams himself will direct the first “Dark Tower” movie, for now they just announced they are moving forward with the film.
JJ said if the first “Dark Tower” film is a successful hit, then they will make the rest of the “Dark Tower” books into live action films as well.
MTV Movies Blog reports:
This is really good news. I’m happy that there is finally news of a “Dark Tower” movie finally happening. I think the director should be no one other than JJ.
I also still stand by that I think they should get Hugh Jackman to play Roland Deschain the Gunslinger. I think Jackman is a perfect fit for that character. It would be insane if JJ doesn’t get him.
Of course, it wouldn’t surprise me if JJ got Chris Pine or Zachary Quinto to play him instead.
