Re: I know there are other Dark Tower fans here
The bottom line is this: The Dark Tower is going to be damned near impossible to actually adapt to film. I have said that from the beginning, and I maintain that stance. No matter what they give us, it's going to be a pale shadow of the narrative that's in the books. It's best to just come to terms with that.
They haven't even mentioned casting for Odetta/Detta/Susannah yet, but they've cast a character (whom people are referring to as the female lead) that only appeared briefly in the last book, if memory serves.
SO.
Now that that's out of the way... here's what Stephen King (who has openly approved of Elba's casting, by the by) and the director have to say: http://www.ew.com/article/2016/02/2...ephen-king-idris-elba-and-matthew-mcconaughey
