According to Heat Vision Blog and Chud.com - it appears that Stephen King's epic gunslinger saga is moving forward with it's film adaptation AND a TV series to follow.
The team of Ron Howard, Brian Grazer and Akiva Goldsman are looking to make a movie first that will lead into a series for tv. No official word on which studio it will be but it looks like Universal is in the running.
The movie and series will likely be based on the books directly and not Marvel's comic run, so the film and series might end up being very, very convoluted. But at least we have Ron Howard getting this thing up and running. Maybe it just takes some Academy Award winning juice to get this epic off the ground.
