Stephen King Says 'The Dark Tower' Is a Bit Different From His Books, In Case You Didn't Know

But if you were expecting a faithful adaptation of The Gunslinger…well, perhaps you should adjust your expectations.

While The Dark Tower won’t be identical to The Gunslinger, it will still (hopefully) remain true to the heart and soul of the characters and King’s writing.

The Dark Tower hits theaters on February 17, 2017.
