Idris Elba is cast as Roland in the Dark Tower movie. Mathew

I think that this movie should not be made at all. Bad enough that it takes place in new york, they had to cast a nignog as Roland and cast the perfect Roland as a different character.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?

It's all a ruse. McConaughey is Roland, as it fucking should be.

Just kidding. Hollywood being liberal cucks again and me saving money on watching movies again.

>mfw my ideal Dark Tower movie will never happen

They could've easily just reversed the roles and the casting would've been perfect.

Idris Elba is a good actor, but Roland is blue eyed and looked like The Man with No Name. How can Roland now be called a "honky mafha" and "whitebread". Is Odetta blind now like in that Dave Chapelle KKK sketch?

So, they're making more than one movie right? You can't even begin to fit more than one or two books into one movie.

Why is the MAN IN BLACK played by a fucking. WHITE. MALE?!??!?!

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

TV Series after the movie. Plus the movie is a Sequel to the Saga.

So, how are they going to translate the second book with a black gunslinger? Race is a fairly important part of that book.

it's gonna flop.

By whitewashing a certain character and switching racial slurs maybe. Or just have Odetta be batshit insane and still keep the format to a tee.

That's irrelevent. Unless you're something beyond human, you're talent isn't special enough to portray a role you're simply not fit for. Big buff gorilla as Roland... yeah fuck the redditors who defend this shit. Again, Idris Elba is not a god.

They won't have to.

This won't make box office enough to warrant any manner of sequel.
