Stephen King opus The Dark Tower is being turned into a movie series
Stephen King’s magnum opus, a fantasy-horror series known as The Dark Tower, is once again on the path toward being turned into a movie series. Deadline reports that Sony Pictures will finance and distribute the first movie in what is intended to be a larger franchise. There are eight books in the series, which is about a “gunslinger” in a magical, Western world who’s trying to find a weakening tower that’s keeping the world together. The first film will be based on the series’ first book, The Gunslinger, and is being written by Akiva Goldsman, who previously co-wrote I Am Legend, and Jeff Pinkner, who recently co-write The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
