The Dark Tower
[ Warning : major pamperer forThe Dark Towerahead ]
With the first pic only just stumble cinemas , it sounds like Columbia Pictures already has ambitious plans for where Nikolaj Arcel’sTheDark Towercould take us with a sequel .
accommodate Stephen King ’s sprawl saga , there arealready programme for a telly serial based onThe Dark Tower , but it seems like another big screen adaptation is n’t off the table by any means . While critics and box seat office figures alikehaven’t been too kindto the phantasy Western starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey , that has n’t stopped the movie studio looking to a 2d flick and a continuing franchise .
speak toComing Soon , Arcel revealed how he hopes to remain after this yr ’s badmouth cinematic unveiling . The plastic film terminate with Elba ’s Roland and Tom Taylor ’s Jake make believe the conclusion to leave Keystone Earth behind and presumably position out on a young dangerous undertaking . When quizzed on where we could go next , Arcel said we should wait to King ’s book of account serial publication for inspiration :
" I can tell you that you’re able to in all likelihood encounter a lot of that reply in Bible two , “ The Drawing of the Three . ” So that ’s the best I can do . "
Given the dramatic climax ofThe Dark Towerand presumed death of McConaughey ’s Man in Black , Arcel teased that we may not have seen the last of the picture ’s big villain :
" I guess it ’s fair to say that the Man in Black will pass , yeah . He ’s the main , he ’s THE scoundrel . If we had really wanted to obliterate him off for goodness , it would ’ve been a big moment , and I think it was almost like , “ Did he pall ? Did he not ? ” I do n’t recognize . For me , he for sure did n’t . He is in the late instalment of the novel , so yeah . "
While it sounds like the malevolent Walter O’Dim will be back on board , Arcel also teased that Jackie Earle Haley could also return as Sayre the humanoid lamia leader :
" I think there is a possible future for him . We do n’t see him in reality become flat , right ? But I think he ’s definitely one of those characters that I feel was n’t a big character in the script , but Jackie , I ’ve always have it away his piece of work . I just told him , “ take heed , it ’s not a huge part , but it ’s important , you live , a seriously significant fiber . ” And he was so game . He was cool . He was just like , “ Yeah , I love the fictitious character , so allow me do it . ” But you never know what can materialize . "
If we are look at conform " The Drawing of Three , " we can presume thatThe Dark Tower 2will also insert fan - preferent part Eddie Dean and Odetta Holmes / Detta Walker , however , Jake ’s role in special getts more complicated from here on out . WithKing reportedly wanting the sequel to lead for an R - military rank , it will be interesting to see how Arcel handles all of this for the sequel . Given the criticism of the first film , it looks like it wo n’t just be the source material that will need a reshuffle when / if we move up the floors of The Dark Tower .
