Roland’s Quest for the Dark Tower Ends Before It Begins

It appears the quest for the Dark Tower has ended.  The grand plans to bring Stephen King’s Dark Tower series to life have crumbled.  Originally, the Dark Tower series was planned as three movies with a television series between each film.  Ron Howard was attached to produce and direct the movie first movie with Javier Bardem stepping into the role of Roland Deschain.  Universal however decided to pull the plug on the series which was suppose to start shooting this year…as of now there are no plans for anyone else to pick-up the big budget plans.  Marvel Comics still continues its adaptation of the Dark Tower and is currently adapting the first book in the series, The Gunslinger.
