    i am really looking forward to this movie. It is my favorite SK series, I hope the movie lives up to my expectations. It probably won't but that's ok.

    I was pretty into the series all the way through about "Wolves of the Calla." After that I think King just kind of gave up and the ending was terrible.

    I hate Stephen King's books ... but they usually make real good movies.

    Same. To be fair, I've not read many long series that have had an ending that didn't suck.

    Ugh, already not interested. Thanks for posting the preview. I thought it'd been so long since I read it that it wouldn't bother me when they change some stuff, but I'm already turned off.

    SK = very anti 2A, and his books are boring as dried dog turd. Movies made from his books are about as good as fresh dog turd. I read the first three Dark Tower books, then waited decade+ for follow-on. Lost all interest in it.

    Yeah, once SK kicked his nose candy habit his writing went downhill. Regardless of the quality of the ending, this is still my favorite SK book / series and I'm excited to see it. I just hope the don't completely screw it up the way Disney screwed my favorite book series, the John Carter Warlord of Mars series.

    Is the kid supposed to be the coke addict in the book? Eddie was it? <-- Not at all a spoiler.

    The cool thing about The Dark Tower is that it is supposed to be the universe that he refers to in many other books. While I've read a few of his books, I never went down that rabbit hole of reading every book that had references to the Dark Tower universe. I really liked the Dark Tower series when I read it. Wizard and Glass (#4) was my favorite.
