Must Watch: First Trailer for Nikolaj Arcel's 'The Dark Tower' Movie

Written by

“The tower protects both our worlds. If it falls, hell will be unleashed.” Sony Pictures has finally released the first trailer for the adaptation of Stephen King’s book series, The Dark Tower. Directed by Danish filmmaker Nikolaj Arcel, this cinematic version of the story is more sci-fi than fantasy, about a Gunslinger roaming an Old West-like landscape in pursuit of the man in black. Idris Elba stars as Roland Deschain, with Matthew McConaughey as the Man in Black. The cast includes Abbey Lee, Jackie Earle Haley, Fran Kranz, Tom Taylor, Katheryn Winnick, Alex McGregor, Nicholas Hamilton, Claudia Kim, and Michael Barbieri. This actually looks pretty damn cool, but it also looks a bit messy, with almost too much going on. The story framed around the young kid is quite interesting. I’ll definitely be seeing this film. ›››
