idris elba as everybody

>>85967561
Viggo as Roland
Literally who gives a fuck as Jake

Signal Casting was the least of this abomination's problems, but Clint's kid.

>>85967599
This.

>>85967666
>Clint's kid
>literally the least charismatic actor of all time
Such a shame that he's the spitting image of Clint.

I'd rather 90 year old clint be cast than that monkey they put in his place

>>85967561
Idris Elba didn't play enough white characters in this movie.

What's the deal with this tower? I heard the clown from IT originates from there?

ONE. JOB.

>>85967561
Clint Eastwood as Roland. Fuck being old. Just grab a past version of him.
Noah Schnapp as Jake.
Aaron Paul as Eddie
Naomie Harris as Susannah
Nathan Fillion as the Man in Black
Corey Burton as Blaine the Train

They literally could have tested the waters with just adapting the first book as a indie type of film. You could have done it very cheaply (especially for modern Hollywood), I'm talking 5-15 million, 30 mil absolutely tops. That way they could have made it r-rated too. They could have teased some aspects of the mythology, but even if it had not turned out to be a box office success, with a small budget it likely would have made at least its money back.

But no, the modern studio system doesn't do this. At all. They want gigantic franchises, so they take a weird (and no way perfect) book series, take everything interesting out of it and just use the IP because it has brand recognition. It looks so generic that most normies don't give a fuck and they alienated the book readers from day 1 when the details started coming in.

>>85968662
On second thought, not Naomie Harris, but that black woman from Snowpiercer as Susannah.

>>85968561
The Towers are the tethers that hold up the Stephen King multiverse.

The Dark Tower series touches multiple realities of Kings works, and hes stated that the big bad (the Crimson King) is akin to It's cousin.

Ewan McGregor as Roland
Noah Schnapp as Jake
Aaron Paul as Eddie
Zazie Beetz as Susannah
Idris Elba as The Man in Black
Christopher Lee as The Crimson King

I feel you're right on this one.
If it was an indie as what you propose, then it would redeem Sean Connery coming out of retirement as the Gunslinger... Sequels might present a problem, though...

That's Hollywood.

Oh plus Robin Williams as Sai King, and Clint Eastwood as Father Callahan

>>85971351
Eastwood as Callahan would be pretty good.
Damn.

Yeah too bad he's like 90

I didnt know they had digital photography in the 50s

That's Clint's son

Wait, The Dark Tower isn't just a metaphor for Idris's dong?

>making a character whose race never mattered black makes something "leftist nonsense"

/pol/ has surpassed the insanity of the far left, holy shit.

>>85967561

I've never read the books and don't care but why doesn't Elba rock a cowboy hat in the movie? Ever?

Friendly reminder that the film was suggested to be a cycle following the books by both King and the director. The film is flawed, but not because they cast Roland as a black guy. It isn't a straight adaptation.

>>85976318
>a character whose race never mattered
So I guess you never read the books then

>>85976318
You didn't read the books then. The racial tension between Detta and Roland+Eddie is a major plot point.

>>85974716

This is my reaction anytime someone suggests Mads for anything. Has anyone actually seen him act or do they strictly base everything on how he looks?

>>85971291
He's famous for being on the Wire. Hardly anyone outside of people reading reddit recommended lists has seen Luthor.

>>85976318
>black cowboy
This isn't a comedy like Brooks and Tarantino's film, m8.

>>85976415
>>85971291

I tried watching Luther but that ugly white girl with the thin lips is irritating as fuck. Not just the character, but the actor's face as well. I wanted Elba to strangle her.

>>85976325
rumors are that after Cowboys and Aliens Hollywood doesn't want their actors wearing cowboy hats

>>85967561
Thomas Jane as Roland

>>85976318
>there's a black character who loathes Roland because he's white
>Roland looks a lot like Clint Eastwood. Ronald is Stephen King's homage to The Man With No Name
>"a character whose race never mattered"
Shut the fuck up, you retarded faggot.

>>85976357
>>85976395
They can just make that tension due to another reason. Your fantasy of whites and blacks hating eachother doesn't need to be the catalyst.

>>85976437
Find me a single piece of evidence that says there was NEVER a black cowboy.

>>85976415

Luthor is massive in the UK mate, i'm pretty sure it got a few award nominations in the US as well, i'd hardly call it unpopular in the same way something like The Leftovers is.

>>85976522
>a white man loathing a black man is just fine
>BUT THOSE DIRTY MONKEY NIGGERS BETTER NOT HATE A WHITE UBERMENSCH!!!

Also, source on that claim about Roland looking like Clint?

>>85976318
>>85976525
This is bait.

>>85976525
>Your fantasy of whites and blacks hating eachother
It's literally a major part of the character you retard, holy shit. Try reading the source material before you go virtue signalling and defending this shit film's smallest problem.

WAIT

Ryan Reynolds as Eddie.
Gilbert Godfried as the voice of Baine.

So the character HAS to be a white man who hates blacks? He can't be a black man who hates whites? Why not? It's the same damn thing practically.

>>85974458
NICE WRISTS FUCCBOI LMAO

>>85976525
Her and her alternate ego's suffering during the mid-20th century because of race relations is a major part of her character, fuck off.

Idris Elba as the Dark Tower

>>85976689
>So the character HAS to be a white man who hates blacks?
Are you fucking stupid? Susannah is the black woman that hates whites and that is a major part of her character and development. Roland is not racist at all in the books, he's the object of racism. You obviously haven't read the book, stop projecting your racis whitey fantasy

Idris Elba is the male version of "Beyoncé", another uppity nigger being shoved down our throats

I've always said this. He's got that grizzled, quiet badass thing going. Handsome in a rugged way, old enough that someone like Aaron Paul calling him "old long, tall and ugly" would be believable, and can do that sort of deep, slow, contemplative voice that Roland has.

>>85977062
you never got the hint that roladn was big and dumb and thats the only reason out of everyone he was still alive you need an actor that can do stupid and this nogger cant for the life of him act stupid

>>85967623
Viggo would have been an excellent choice holy fuck, I'm so mad "muh diversity" got in the way of such a good casting probably

>>85977062
He just wants to get his kids back

>>85977184
he wouldnt take the shitty role dont kid yourself and call it casting anyone with a brain avoided this crap like it was cancer aids

>>85977137
Roland isn't stupid, he's pragmatic without much in the way of imagination, with a blue collar approach to most things. That epitomizes Tom Jane.

Niggerfaggot.

>>85976458

I can't tell if you're cracking wise but if that's true that is fucking hilarious.

>>85976533
No it's definitely popular too, but just not to the casual American audience. My point was that Edris Elba is known to American audiences (and producers) as Stringer Bell. That's what gets him in the door for an audition way more often than Luthor
