For whatever it’s still worth, this could be the best possible thing to happen to the franchise for Dark Tower fans.
With Amazon at the helm, they could even still make the combination of films and episodes if that’s really the best way to do it.
With everything available on Amazon Video, fans would still be able to binge the complete story without having to run off to the theater to see various parts.
The Dark Tower series, like Game of Thrones, is a sprawling epic series of novels where quite a lot happens and while some of the books could lend themselves to a feature film structure, the story has a whole would almost certainly work better as a television series.
