The big screen adaptation has been in development for years and Stephen King has warned long-time fans of the book series that the movie will be different in a lot of ways, almost as if he’s trying to set the precedent, to front-load the audience, but this is the first that we have heard in regards to the author being satisfied with the long awaited The Dark Tower movie.
The Dark Tower director Nikolaj Arcel recently did an interview with IGN where he revealed that Stephen King is happy with the way that the movie turned out despite it being different from his original novel.
Arcel went on to reveal exactly what Stephen King wrote to him after seeing a completed version of the movie.
Elsewhere in the interview Arcel mentioned that The Dark Tower is not a direct adaptation of any singular book in the series, instead it’s a “cannon continuation” of the stories contained in the series.
