The Dark Tower has been in the works for some time now, with the Idris Elba-led movie finally set for release in mid-2017.
Those who have read the Dark Tower series have been promised a movie adaptation for some time now, with reports back in 2007 revealing how J. J. Abrams was attached to produce and direct.
Based on the Stephen King series of novels of the same name, Elba will play Roland Deschain, a man known to long-time Dark Tower fans as The Gunslinger.
Matthew McConaughey stars opposite Elba as the Man in Black; not somebody who has Deschain’s best interests at heart.
