The settlement around Steven King's Magnum Opus "The Dark Tower" has been more realistic than ever thanks to the upcoming adaptation of colleagues Master of Horror and Serial King-Creator Mike Flanagan ("Ericerald's Game", "Doctor Sleep". Well, TV series of Flanagan's "Dark Tower" lasts pretty longAnd there is no story when we see the show of Amazon Prime's video. As such, patience is needed - although this can be a good thing because even an experienced king adapter like Flanagan will require a lot of time to discuss the huge source of material in cohesive and hope a great series.

That last part is imperative, because the "dark tower" already has an infamous record in the failure category. The 2017 dark tower movie is a fantastic flop that eventually found an audience on Netflix But he was near-universally hated by critics. Understandably, people were interested in learning what King was thinking about that bomb, and in an interview with 2017 VultureThe author needed some time to express his feelings towards the film directed by Nikolai Archel ... and revealed that as he got what went wrong, he personally loved the film very much:

"The Major Challenge was to do a filmed on a series of books that is a real long, about 3,000 pages. Behavior in a Fairly Graphic Way. Thought was pretty good movie. "

Converting the "Dark Tower" into a film always had to be a challenge, and even an ordered cast of Idris Elba as Roland Desque and Matthew McConaughey as the evil Walter "Man in Black" Paddique could not save adaptation for 2017. King - whose bibliography has its own stake in terrible film adaptations - has always been aware of the difficulties in making work as huge as the "dark tower" on the big screen. In 2017, he said Colider That he did not keep the "dark tower" tabs in particular to become a movie:

"I never thought about it a lot. There were times when people expressed interest in it, then it would go away. Then it seemed that the interest came back at the time Peter Acksecson had success with 'The master of the rings' Movies, I thought maybe, but it never seemed like a movie idea. It was complex, and it was long. "

Although King also had kinde words about film adaptation, this indicates that he was not entirely on the ship with the idea of condensing mass work in a relatively short film. Flanagan's project, on the other hand, caused stronger emotions than the author. King called on Flanagan's plan to adapt the "dark tower" perfect "for perfect", So, whenever the show is actually accomplished, expect the writer to be through it. After all, Flanagan himself confirmed Comic -book That no one is more interested in the project than King:

"He's constantly in the works and you believe as often as the guys you may want to ask about it, Steven King asks me more about it, and I won't let him down."
