It should come as no surprise to Ron Howard that no matter what he’s trying to talk about, all anyone else wants to discuss is the status of his film/TV adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series. Such was the case when he got on the phone with EW.com recently. Read on for what the director had to say about the project’s current status.
As has been discussed from the beginning, the project would start with a feature film, followed by six hours of TV content starring the same actors as in the movie. Howard explains the logic behind this strategy, “There are elements of the Dark Tower saga that are more personal and can be best dealt with on television. TV allows you to roll out details of the characters in a more methodical way.”
Nothing really concrete, but we’ll take what we can get. Stay tuned.
