So....
I've been wanting to see this made since I first picked up "The Gunslinger". I'm just worried they'll destroy the books and story line. Even though it's only 7 books long, there's a lot of shit I feel like they won't go into detail about.
I'm still excited as fuck about it though, what does CD think?
long days and pleasant nights
The book is always better than the movie. Unless it's a made for TV book thing.
oh, it's only 7 books long? you're right, that's tiny
also, HBO is making a Dark Tower show? With the success of GoT (saw a wicked Khal Drogo and Daenerys costume couple last night, btw), I think they'll do a pretty good job with this one as well.
I just think it may end up like "The Legend of the Seeker"(Sword of Truth series), great books, great character development... the show was lacking though.
This is what I expect, but this is by far my favorite series of books, even though I've only read to book 5
The tv adaption of the sword of truth series was done by Disney. That's why it got fucked
Now I have a boner for a Mord-Sith
HBO produces the highest quality programming I don't think it will be anywhere near to the quality of legend of the seeker
Disney requires that it get 100% creative control over every show it gets and panders to children. HBO panders to people who want to see violence and titties. I think you're safe.UT
I would say it panders to parents.
Children are presumably in the demographic of people who want to see violence and titties
sounds about right.
Also, there was 0 real character development in the sword of truth series.
