Sci-Fi Film and Television Developments

The Dark Tower

9/4/08 - Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof mentions his plans for a film series based on Stephen King's The Dark Tower books.  “The Dark Tower is to me every bit as daunting an adaptation as the Lord of the Rings trilogy must have been for Peter Jackson, except we've got seven books we're looking at. And the idea of doing that at the same time Carlton and I are bringing Lost to a close is simply not viable. There are always Dark Tower conversations, but the figuring out of what this will look like as a movie has not begun. If The Dark Tower were in the right hands, I would love to see seven movies executed just right. But you have to get people to see the first one to get them to come and see the second one.”

12/31/06 - Stephen King confirmed his epic multi-volume book series The Dark Tower will be developed for the screen.  Stay tuned on this one.
