    agreed, this series contains some of my favorite books and stories. It deserves a big screen budget. Although, if it must be on TV, this is the guy to do it.

    Ooh. Very cool news! I'm excited.

    Joaquin Phoenix should be Roland. I'll have to think on the rest of them. I'm not really familiar with any young kids for Jakes role. Or, maybe JP could be Eddie and David Strathairn could be Roland.

    there is just SO much in those books that could never make tv. They would have to butcher it IMO to make it tv-able.

    and they'd need 10 years of tv shows to cover it.

    I'm torn, i'd really love eto see it done, but if it can't be done right, i'd rather not see it at all.
    I taste terrific.

    JP? not who I would pick, I think you'd need a newcomer that looks a lot like Clint Eastwood....THAT'S Roland.

    It'd be great on TV if you wanted to do the whole damn story, and did it on HBO or the like, so they could show everything.

    It'll be good as an R-rated trilogy, and they'll cut out most everything.

    HBO would be great. They could definitely do it with an acceptable budget.

    I agree on the Eastwood-type, but I have Roland pictured as a much much better looking man than Clint.

    DAMMIT, Roland's not a pretty boy....he's a Gunslinger for God's sake.
