Who should be doing the Dark Tower series? Put aside all the Ron Howard excitement for a moment, okay. This is just a thought -- but it's a good one; How about George Lucas. You know, the Star Wars dude!
.
Here's why:
.
1. He used to making strange movies. And Dark Tower needs to be strange.
.
2. They can do awesome stuff over at Skywalker ranch. The special effects won't be a repeat of the Langoliers.
.
3. He knows what's involved in creating an entire universe. And that's what the Dark Tower is, a universe. Lucas thinks big. He's dealt with stories with massive amounts of characters.
.
4. He's already a ka-jillion-aire, so he wouldn't be in it for the money.
.
5. If he's focused on a new project, he will finally stop re-cutting the Star Wars films. And giving us cartoon versions of Star Wars. And, not to mention, Star Wars 3D. . . please, give this man a new project! Redoing Star Wars every few years is like Picasso painting over his classic's with new touch-ups because he can finally afford better brushes.
.
6. He could get Harrison to be Roland. By the way, did you knwo that duel audions were held for carrie and Star Wars? Yep, it's true! Harrison Ford would make a great older Roland (Wolves and beyond). And Roland ages quickly in the series.
.
7. The idea of a "used universe" is perfect for the Dark Tower series.
.
8. The Dark Tower has several Star Wars moments. (Roland hypnotizing people -- "these aren't the droids you're looking for.") C3PO is mentioned in Dark Tower 7.
.
There you go. No news, just another annoying opinion from a nervous fan. I think everyone wants to say to those preparing to put their hands on the Dark Tower series, "Don't mess this one up!" We better not get another Children of the Corn here.
