The Dark Tower series is damn near impossible to adapt, hence why Nikolaj Arcel's movie will serve as a sequel of sorts as Roland Deschain embarks on his final journey to the titular location.
While we originally expected the movie to be released last month, Sony Pictures pushed The Dark Tower back because attempts were reportedly being made to keep the project on budget while visual effects were finished properly (rather than rushed). A new July slot was given to the Stephen King adaptation, a sign of confidence that the studio believes they have a potential summer blockbuster here. Well, the date has been shifted yet again, but it's not quite so bad this time.
In order to give The Emoji Movie more time to play in theaters while children are home from school over the summer, Sony has shifted that to July and placed The Dark Tower in its August 4th release date. That's still a good time and is only a difference of a week, so really no big deal. Word out of CinemaCon has been massively positive and the trailer is expected to be released literally any day now.
