In a podcast interview with Empire, Howard spoke about the fact that the project is nowhere near dead, nor in production hell, just still milling around.
Howard spoke about the complexity of transforming the series of books into a narrative on film and how while Stephen King seemed to have faith in them, he also agreed it was quite a task to take on.
But like the task of The Gunslinger chasing down his adversary, I have faith Howard will doggedly move forward until this project finally sees the dim light of a movie theater or even our home television screen.
One thing that didn't make sense to me, Howard mentioned he and his team hadn't realized how much media attention this project would be getting. Are you kidding me?
Anyways, check out the podcast with Empire below and let us know, are you looking forward to a Dark Tower adaption? Is Ron Howard (once best buddies with the Fonz and adversary of Homer Simpson) the right person to pull this project off?
