Last time we discussed Ron Howard’s desire to bring Stephen King’s Dark Tower series to both the big screen and television, the project had aired its death rattle. However, in recent weeks, it has been reported that the project is only in a holding pattern while Howard and producer Brian Glazer find a new studio to take on the project. The three-film series still has Javier Bardem attached to star, so the pulse hasn’t completely died off just yet.
Whether the movies ever actually happen or not, it hasn’t stopped fans of the books – this blogging nerd included – from being optimistic. Take artist Sean Hartter, for instance. Hartter has a knack for creating “alternate universe” movie posters, and his efforts are pretty fantastic. He recently posted a series of his own Dark Tower movie posters with a vintage 60s and 70s feel and I want them to be real.
