I guess the cat's out of the bag... I am indeed collaborating with Akiva Goldsman and Ron Howard on the television side of an adaptation of The Dark Tower, based of course on the amazing, epic series of novels by Stephen King. As previous press releases have noted, this is a fairly unprecedented approach to getting the stories on screen, with a movie leading into a mini-series and then more after that. It's challenging, but that's a good thing!
I'm sure there will be plenty of discussion about all things Roland as time rolls on, but for now, I gotta get back to work! Here's a link to Nikke Finke's write-up on the all the excitement...
