We still know very little about what to expect from
The Dark Tower. Some set photos offered up a
first look at Idris Elba as The Gunslinger, but the movie doesn't appear to be adapting the first novel. Instead, it seems like it will borrow most of its story and characters from
The Wolves of Calla, but with no sign of Eddie and Susannah, it's becoming hard to figure out what exactly they're doing here.
Whatever the answer may be, the fact that the adaptation is happening is very good news, as is Idris Elba playing Roland Deschain. Matthew McConaughey meanwhile takes on the role of the villainous Man in Black, and those two will be joined by Jackie Earle Haley, Fran Kranz, Kathryn Winnick, and Abby Lee. As you can see below, Elba has unveiled a new teaser today, and well, it's one for the fans!
Directed by Nikolaj Arcel,
The Dark Tower is currently set to be released on February 17th, next year.
