>Three blind screenings last October, shown before final effects work had been completed, confirmed fears that the picture was a mess. Audiences at the test screenings couldn’t understand the mythology and rated the film poorly.
>The two companies split costs, and in return MRC was granted “kill rights” on everything from the marketing campaign to the final cut of the picture. If one company didn’t like a trailer or a cut of the film, it had to be scrapped, making it difficult to achieve consensus. It’s a rare type of partnership, with the kind of sign-off that few production companies enjoy. That led to a case of “too many cooks in the kitchen,” according to one insider. King also had a great deal of input. In return for the rights to his work, he retained veto approval of almost every aspect of the film.
>The books move forward and backward in time and reference multiple genres, from gangster films to Arthurian legends. It was a struggle to combine parts of several books into an 88-minute film that appeals to both King devotees and mainstream audiences.
>Sony’s Rothman believes that the narrative complexity will ultimately help the film connect with audiences. “It’s a fantasy film and so yes, it’s complicated; it’s intricate and ambitious, but that’s a good thing because with the complexity of the stuff on television now, theater audiences want ambition,” he said.

I think i'm gonna skip this now.

I love the books I really do. Favorite series. I'd give everything to see it on the big screen. except this. This is terrible. The best thing about Dark Tower books were their heavy western influences. It all came to life through the main character Roland Deschain. A Gunslinger who's attitude and looks sold the story. A big part being white and blue eyes (In contrasts to Randal flagg being 'The man in black'. These idiots couldn't figure out the poetry in the books
>>
>>85786210
The story could have been adequately adopted in a low budget TV series.

Instead we got this Dr Strange shit with a token black guy for a lead.

The book features a disabled black woman as a main character. That wasnt diverse enough?

Honestly its a hard movie to make, and nothing against Idris Elba in the slightest, but the fact they casted him shows that their plans for this movie were more or less incorporeal. I wouldn't be surprised if this movie turns out to be just completely off-the-wall retarded.

Different mediums you abject retard. Dark Tower is a good foundation for a TV project. Go full autismo and tie it into other King properties that are more movie suited if you want - The Dark Tower could run for years and have references to ongoing King based movies.

We're getting to see people triggered on the normie boards now. Jesus fucking christ. It's not even controversial that Hollywood is intentionally replacing characters with blacks.

If liberals were at all consistent they'd be puzzled as to why, because blacks have a more than proportional representation in media, yet liberals cry out for more. Meanwhile the most underrepresented group Hispanics, nobody cares about. Nobody really gives a shit about asians either because they're an overachieving minority and are a thorn in the side of the oppression olympics.

That's my fucking point. It wasnt because we had a hard-on for hating black guys, or some insecurity about mixed couples.

No it didn't work that's the thing. Stormfront tried and failed. Stormfag became an insult here because of this.

You mistakenly think that any racism is evidence of stormfaggotry which isn't the case. You don't have to be a nazi to hate blacks, you don't have to love Hitler to see a problem with jews either. Stormfront is run by mongrels and retards. Their main tactic was spamming the boards with their goddamned 14 words. People still laugh at that.

>It's just they concentrate on Muslims right now.

What a fucking joke. The islamic radical boards are on the scale of 100 to 1000 times more popular than any nazi or even extreme right board.

I mean audiences are saying they don't like the mythology behind it all. To me that sounds like a problem with the story. I haven't read any Dark Tower stuff so I have no clue really.

Not true. They were early adopters of the internet actually, as a medium for spreading views.

They don't have to have you switching your boot laces to claim victory either. Confessing a "problem with the jews" is enough to get their slimy cocks hard.

> The islamic radical boards are on the scale of 100 to 1000 times more popular than any nazi or even extreme right board.

I'm all for idris as bond because he's an incredible British talent, bond has been practically ginger and they're more souless than blacks so why not?

But all you /pol/tards screamed bloody murder at those (((rumors))) and whoever was helming this project saw the backlash and cast Elba as Roland out of spite. You'll never admit it but you're at least 50% responsible for destroying this movie.

You don't understand what the fuck you're talking about. I've been to their website. They run forums that still operate like the 90s. Their threads are navel gazing. Their technological approach to 4chan was a script generator with the same 3 talking points for WN.

They still don't understand what a meme is. They can barely operate their forum let alone do anything more advanced like attack 4chan with scripted bots. Which incidentally is what the left does do, and many private organizations and political groups during the election.

Pretty much this. Book 1 to 3 are great and set a self-contained mythos (not the revised versions of the books, the originals). Book 4 inttoduces The Stand as a setting the character visit. That was fine. The other books go insane with that idea and make every SK book part of the DT mythos and SK himself too. It's not a bad idea (the concept was introduced in the last Gunslinger short story), but making all the alternate worlds his own books was a bad idea in my opinion. It took away from the Dark Tower as a story.

I hear you, its just that when I see things like pic related being posted I start to wonder if this is not just some big convoluted mess.

I've been considering reading the series for years now, but I kept putting it off because the screen adaptation has been a floating around in rumorland for like 10 years now. I figured If the movie piques my interest maybe I'd go from there.

The men at the top use the internet very proficiently, in a fashion. The rank and file are utter morons, yes.

4chan isnt exactly hot shit either, especially back then. It was babbies first ddos for the most part.

Stormfront NOW is abandonware. Because there isn't any need for it, because /pol/, reddit, and other platforms perform just as well.

I get it, you don't want to think racists are intelligent enough or charismatic enough to convince these noble autists and virgins and neckbeards or anything. That's sort of admirable, but kind of silly when you think about it.

I mean, we're only treating black people as bad as we always treated women.

You're denying charismatic intelligent racists exist?

So, everyone prior to 1970 ish sort of was just a retard?

Well, they are dumb, I agree. Doesn't change my argument.

This is you, asserting everyone. Every single person. Before 1970 was a racist.

This is what the left actually believes.

Not switching I'm clarifying what your position is. Why would Nazis suddenly only be stupid people now?

There are plenty of smart, even brilliant fascists around, even if they target the stupid and anti-intellectual.

And I was being flippant, obviously there were a lot more racists the further into the past you go towards imperialism. Most American heroes throughout history were racist.

I'm not literally claiming everyone was, just that it was a cultural norm to be.

And as far as I'm aware I never said Stormfromt USERS were intelligent, current or past. It doesn't affect my argument if they are.

95% of king adaptations are garbage. So yeah there is a much higher chance that Dark Tower is a bad one and not a good one.

Maybe if Darabont made it it could have had a chance. But he probably wouldn't have wanted to make it a bland pg13 kids film which is a deal breaker for the studio even if he did previously make the two best King adaptations

I suppose you're saying the movie will be good then. King said this was meant to be Roland's next cycle and was glad to have finally gotten the opportunity to edit the series. Perhaps we never truly needed a riddling contest with a mono,or a mastubatory seven samurai remake, or the founding of a corporation to fight another corporation run by vampires, or a random character appearing at the very end to defeat the Crimson king with an eraser...

Read the books, but the movie is going to be shit. Idris Elba cast as Roland was the first giant red flag, the rest came pretty easily after that.

I don't understand why everyone bitches about white people replacing "people of color", and then they do the same shit with white actors. Portray the fucking characters in ANY IP as the way they are supposed to be portrayed. If you want a spy movie about a black spy, create a new character, don't cast James Bond as a black guy, or a martial artist as a white guy.
