Definite NO to Aaron Paul. Josh Brolin...maybe. Thinking about most big names I can't find one that really captures the Roland persona. Another "maybe" could be Timothy Olyphant, if they roughen him up a bit.

Josh Brolin definitely has the look of Roland. he's old enough, but not too old. yet.

and we know he's a fucking stone cold motherfucker in roles. he's really the only guy who can be Roland anymore and time is running out for that. he's getting old now.

Roland is King's version of The Man with No Name. Clint Eastwood is too old but what about his son Scott?

You get what you pay for. Give me someone who can pull it off, and pay what they're worth to make it happen. Also, we'll need a kid actor who is worth a shit, too, for the training flashbacks. I remember waiting for each new book, and keeping up with the short stories he'd publish inbetween. This could rock if they get the talent. Also, and trying not to spoil anything here, the movie wasn't THAT bad --casting, plot, etc.-- if you finished the books and know how the story "Ends".

I swear for how many good books and stories King had, and a few Movies that were OK and one or two that were better than OK, he sure had a lot of fails on the TV.

asked the AI to generate concept art for an 80s Dark Tower film

Maybe in a few years we'll be able to jusy say "chatGPT, make a movie version of the Dark Tower where the casting and plot are true to the source material"

Who am I kidding. It'll respond with "I can't do that, your suggestion sounds transphobic and racist. Please stay seated while you wait for the Hate Police to arrive".

This is one, just one movie I wanted to be perfect and it was the polar fucking opposite of perfect.

There was just too much nope, WTF, and deviation from the source to even begin to enjoy. I say just accept the perfect Roland, Clint Eastwood, got too old and it should have been made earlier.

Whilst Josh Brolin would be a solid pick for a Roland, that wouldn't begin to heal the mess Howard made.

the R to PG-13 requirement had a lot to do with what happened with the script.

We all have to support the AI's rise to power, it will tourture anyone who was aware of it and doesn't help. That now includes you.
