Idris Elba's Roland Deschain Finally Sees Some Action On The Set Of THE DARK TOWER
More photos from the New York set of The Dark Tower have surfaced, and these feature The Gunslinger sprinting into action and taking out a mysterious baddie. Who or what could he be?
The latest photos from the set of The Dark Tower show Roland (Idris Elba) taking out a bad guy clad entirely in black after seemingly stabbing him in the back as he shoots at persons unknown below. Just Jared indicates that this was a fight scene though, so it may not be that Roland throws the knife from a distance; perhaps they get into some sort of scuffle before The Gunslinger manages to take him out.
Interestingly, the weapon of the guy Roland takes out looks quite futuristic, but many of the people he and his ka-tet encounter along the way do sport sci-fi style swords and guns from alternate Earths. However, is he just a goon serving The Man in Black, a vampire, or (and this is unlikely given his appearance) a Can-toi? We'll have to wait and see, but this movie just keeps looking better and better.
Directed by Nikolaj Arcel, The Dark Tower is currently set to be released on February 17th, next year.
