The adaptation of Stephen King novel The Dark Tower may not have had the easiest journey to screen and yet the first slice of footage shown to critics has been met by praise.
The Dark Tower will be released in cinemas 28 July.
Another character glimpsed in the footage is a New York-based young boy named Jake (Tom Taylor) who has dreams of Roland and the titular Dark Tower.
Despite this, anticipation has remained fervent and – according to The Hollywood Reporter – the first footage shown at CinemaCon left the assembled critics feeling hopeful about the outcome of the Nikolaj Arcel film.
