While Universal has decided it won’t pursue Roland’s quest for the Dark Tower, that doesn’t mean the saga is dead in Hollywood. According to Deadline, Warner Brothers is currently considering bringing the epic Stephen King fantasy series to the screen.
However, Warner Brothers isn’t ready to sign off on a three movie, two tv series deal like Universal apparently was. Warners has brought the rights to the script by Akiva Goldsman and it will give Ron Howard the first option to direct the film. Whether or not Oscar winner Javier Bardem will still play the lead role of Roland remains to be seen.
