Do you think Sony regrets fucking Dark Tower up so badly? It wasn't just the racebending, they fucked up everything. TDT could have been a big horror/fantasy franchise if they didn't rush out some direct to video shit.

Dank Tower is a much harder "sell" than IT
(Also it was a lot worse)
I assume WB wishes they could get every STEPHEN KAINGZ book right now so they could start their Kingomatic Expanded Derriverse
(Basically Shinning /stand by meme/ Carrie/shawshank reddition are unrebootable
>>
They raced to get their King movie out first when it was BY FAR the lesser known was a huge mistake. They should have shot 15 more minutes of exposition of dark tower so we actually cared about jakes parents and get just get more flavor in general for the world, what was there was pretty good.
>>
>>87767592
It's not scary as much as it's disturbing and unsettling
>>
>>87767766
meanwhile while they're shooting it comes out and makes people want to see more stephen king movies, and bam dark tower comes out. new mega franchise.

I have a theory that the Jews are secretly sabotaging Sony since it is the only movie studio not owned by them.

This. Spooky clown monster is a really simple premise. The Dark Tower should have been marketed as a Supernatural Western, instead the trailer sets it up as a Cowboy who ends up in our world and has a bunch of exposition and I don't even know I never read the fucking books.

IT - most well known Stephen King story
IT - One of the most well known T.V mini series of all time.
IT - 30 years of ingraining itself into the publics minds.

Vs Dark Tower....that 99% of the public neither give a shit about or even know of it's existence.

Hmmmm, I wonder why IT is doing better?

TDT has a very big fanbase. If they had at least tried to follow the first book somewhat accurately, it would have been a guaranteed success.
>>
>>87768055
The Dark Tower is easily one of Kings most popular books and has by far the most loyal fanbase. Other King stories don't have any invested fans. They read the book, they enjoy it, they move on. TDT was a long running series with people being invested in the characters and their story. All they had to do was tell that story and not shit on the fans by casting a guy who looks literally the opposite of what the main character is described.

They better fucking regret it. That could have been a fantastic movie. I didn't even mind Elba as Roland because he's a damn good actor. Every last bit of that fiasco lies with the studio and the appalling treatment of the source material.
>>
>>87768115
I don't doubt that but so that's what several million Dark Tower fans? The trailer I linked to fucks up fundamentally by showing Jake. And yes I know that in The Dark Tower that kid is a central character but obviously there's a reason Roland is on the cover of the books.
>>
>>87767703
Bullshit
The Gunslinger is a sort self-contained story about cowboys with some hint of bigger things going on. It's the PERFECT launchpad for a cinematic universe.

Sony should have just made The Gunslinger it's own thing and if and only if it succeeded then go full Harry Potter and crank out film after film.

This. The TV miniseries is a huge multiplier for IT. Also, plebs like to see horror movies, even when they are shit. Ouija made ten times it budget with a IMDB score of 4,5.

they made dark tower into exactly what everyone is sick of. No one gives a fuck about the color of the main character.

they made IT into a jumpscare movie, which only come in halloween season, and we're heading into halloween season (according to fucking walmart) thus people aren't as sick of them yet.

remake of The Stand when?

Dark Tower also had a TV miniseries.
>>
>>87769153
Why do you keep repeating this stupid argument? So no one should ever make another King movie adaption if it isn't as popular as IT? DT had all the potential to be fucking huge and they fucked it up. It's like someone made a movie about ASOIAF with a black Eddart Stark and shit and it completely bombed and then everyone was saying "well, ASOIAF was never that popular, so no wonder it did so badly."

They are still pushing it. They are doubling down. They are doing a tv series with black Roland and a videogame as well. Their policy is the same as the other big media companies; if people don't accept forced diversity at first just keep hitting them with it until they do.

WB had passion for the book when they made IT even with the Fukunaga leaving because he wanted to go all in with the sexual subject matter.

Sony had Tom Rothman, a man known for making terrible decisions at Fox, leading the Dark Tower.

If Sony would have given Idris Elba a little dancing scene Dark Tower would have done much better.

I genuinely hope Kaz Hirai shuffles up Sony Pictures' management and fires the idiots in charge like Pascal and Rothman. Those two have fallen upwards in Hollywood for too long.

I want to say they regret their ever lengthening string of disasters, since it's bankrupting them. But then I see the same idiots responsible aren't fired and they just keep pushing the same garbage "diversity" angle again and again.

So I don't know. Doesn't seem like it. Seems like they're fine torpedoing their own company.

They should have considered making Dark Tower a TV series.
>>
>>87767592
Sony has bad ideas, period. They are a wealthy enough entity to acquire good stories but it seems like the creatives they bring on are abnormally hampered by corporates with no creativity... So, they lose money by not trusting the talent.... And what are they going to do then? Trust the creative process? No. They bring in more suits stop the bleeding
(read-save money).

They are fucked.

>>87768307
Having read one of the dark tower novels I can say it is good, really captures the feel of the books. it is not plot accurate in the least though so enjoy it for what it is and leave your expectations at the door.

>>
>>87772992
I mean, that too.

But also that I find race/sex bending insulting, especially if it's going to be the main lead of a film/series. Side characters I don't give as much of a shit about, but Racebending is shitting on a character, changing how they look and act for no reason.

People outcryed a black spider-man because no matter how well the actor did in the part, he's not Peter Parker.

Just like a girl can't be harry potter, and a vibrant ginger man can't be bruce wayne. Looks are part of a character, and when a movie/show throws away something that basic shows that they don't care to even attempt to respect the original.

>>87767703
That's bullshit. Dark Tower seems a lot more like a typical western crossed with fantasy elements. It is like some weird amalgam of horror and fantasy with Stand By Me/The Goonies except the kids get horribly mauled.

All they had to do was write a decent script and not cast the main hero as a nigger for no good reason.

Oh for gods sake anon, race is PART of character.

As much as people may pretend to ignore it, your race influences where you fall in a society and time and place.

And how is Bruce Wayne not working as a ginger trolling? Fans already have a mental picture of what bruce way looks like. So do producers which is why every last actor to play him has looked like Bruce Wayne.

YOu should only change a characters race if you're willing to start changing elements of his backstory, and you don't, then it's a clearly a pandering related change and so an insult to the watcher.
>>
>>87767802
Isn't the western branch of Sony owned by a Jew?
>>
>>87771161
It's a red flag. If they recast a white guy as a nigger for no good reason, then the rest of the movie is probably going to be SJW schlock. Like the vagina Ghostbusters. That was a disaster. And that black Annie movie. Yeah, remember that? Me neither.
>>
>>87776875
>But race doesn't make a character anon
Yes it does. Or at least it makes up a significant part of their character.
>>
I saw IT, I was waiting for the gangbang like in the books. It never happened.
I think it was good, but horror films don't scare me. (They used to when I was a kid) Surprisingly I actually cared about the story. The insults from those 'tough' kids were funny af, Tits and Fag.
