The Dark Tower: Adapting The Stephen King Multiverse Is Mike Flangan’s “Mt. Everest”

As a tower junkie I would be remiss if I Did not tell you that I absolutely Caught that Illustrated Gunslinger book That Dusty has well done uh can you can You just talk to me for a second about Why you keep coming back to that damn Tower and uh oh God like can we just Talk about what a Mike Flanagan Dark Tower movie would look like can we just Do that for like one second yeah of Course look I I have that conversation With myself every day it's my dream Project and I keep coming back to it Because I can't it has its own gravity I Can't I can't get too far away from it For too long nothing would be a bigger Honor or make me happier in my career Than to be able to work on that what it Would look like it would look like the Books you know I mean the thing for me Is and and no disrespect to to to the Film or or other other people's Approaches with adaptation but you hear The stories of like I when I saw the Movie it's like they're starting thing At this whole other place you know it's Like I wanted the first It would be a black screen and the words The man in Black fled across the desert And the Gunslinger followed would come Up on silence and you'd hear the wind And we'd gradually Fade up to this Lawrence of arabia-esque landscape with A silhouette in the distance just making

Could take father Callahan from the 70 Salem's Lot you know walking in because We can do that we're there we're there Horror fans are there
