THE DARK TOWER: Carnage Looms In The International Trailer For The Stephen King Adaptation
Apart from the hardcore fanbase, I’m likely as knowledgeable as the next person when it comes to Stephen King’s The Dark Tower book series. That said, all I know is that Nikolaj Arcel’s forthcoming adaptation looks like a positively rich and sterling treatment and I’ve nary heard a bad word from netizens on the matter. It has Idris Elba starring opposite Matthew McConaughey in the story of a legendary gunslinger who, with the help of a young boy, sets out to defeat the evil “Man In Black” and prevent him from toppling the only barrier that wards off dark forces from consuming Earth. The trailers, in my opinion, are pretty much selling this movie in my opinion but I sincerely hope this lands the success it so deserves, especially with the hype training speeding off on talk of sequels and spin-off plans. The international trailer arrived this week. View it […]
Witness Idris Elba’s Killer Method In The First Trailer For THE DARK TOWER
This may very well be the first Stephen King-inspired film that has ever peaked my interest. Most films based on his work venture into horror, suspense and fantasy but there’s a thrill here worth appreciating in The Dark Tower from director Nikolaj Arcel. There are other worlds than these. Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, the ambitious and expansive story from one of the world’s most celebrated authors, makes its launch to the big screen. The last Gunslinger, Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O’Dim, also known as the Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey), determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower, which holds the universe together. With the fate of the worlds at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black. The film opens on August 4 with […]
THE DARK TOWER Officially Casts Idris Elba And Matthew McConaughey
With renouned author Stephen King’s The Dark Tower book series taking shape at Sony and MRC, King himself confirmed a la Twitter, actors Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey as the first to be cast for the new film as post-apocalyptic gun slinger. The two were initially up for roles in the film since late 2015 with Nikolas Arcej attached to direct. Adapted for the screen by Arcej along with Anders Thomas Jensen, executive producer Jeff Pinker and producer Akiva Goldsman of Weed Road, Elba and McConaughey will portray the respective roles of post-apocalyptic gun-slinger Roland Deschain, and the villainous man in black. The film is based on King’s popular book series which began with the 1982 publication, “The Gunslinger”, offsetting eight books and several comic book installments that take its inspirational cues from the works of authors Robert Browning and J.R.R. Tolkien, and famed spaghetti western director Sergio Leone. via […]

Matthew McConaughey Fights For The FREE STATE OF JONES In The First Trailer
Some people have their own opinions on actor Matthew McConaughey. Personally, I say he’s not an Academy Award nominee for nothing and he’s impressed me greatly in many of his films, so looking at his latest, Free State Of Jones, I would say this is another to bookmark for the new year, particularly if you’re into period war dramas and such. SYNOPSIS: Written and directed by four-time Oscar nominee Gary Ross (THE HUNGER GAMES, SEABISCUIT, PLEASANTVILLE), and starring Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey. FREE STATE OF JONES is an epic action-drama set during the Civil War, and tells the story of defiant Southern farmer, Newt Knight, and his extraordinary armed rebellion against the Confederacy. Banding together with other small farmers and local slaves, Knight launched an uprising that led Jones County, Mississippi to secede from the Confederacy, creating a Free State of Jones. Knight continued his struggle into Reconstruction, distinguishing him […]
