Just as there are whispers in the jungles of “Lost,” there have likewise been whispers in Hollywood that J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof — two of the masterminds behind that ABC television series — have been working on an adaptation of Stephen King’s classic “The Dark Tower” series. Now, those whispers are getting louder… and a lot more insistent.
“Damon Lindelof and I talked to Mr. King,” Abrams told IGN while promoting the upcoming “Star Trek” film. “We got the rights for ['Dark Tower'] as a film. Damon is obviously still on ‘Lost’ and we’ve been working on ‘Star Trek’ together. As soon as ‘Lost’ is done, hopefully we’ll begin tackling that.”
Its not written in stone then, but it sounds like theres a good chance we will be seeing The Gunslinger do his thing at some point. Iv only read the first book and a few of the comics, but its well worth checking out for any horror/fantasy/western fans out there..and lets face it, who isnt?;)
