Quote:To me, this film takes place in The Waste Lands, where Jake tries to get back with Roland.

 

I have a few concerns about the movie due to this trailer.

• I don't like how the Man in Black is perceived to kill everyone Roland knows. Walter doesn't kill people, but he does cause them to die. Subtle, yet important distinction.
  
• I worry that they are merging The Gunslinger and The Waste Lands and will lose the parts about Cort, but I've talked enough about that earlier in this thread.
  
• Why and how does Jake take Roland back to "Earth" without the doorways? Will we see Eddie and Susannah?
  

Still, I'm excited and I look forward to watching the film.

 

Agreed for the most part.  I've read the whole series.  This is very different but might still be good.  I'm a little bummed that they appear (based on the preview) to have completely skipped the first novel and maybe even the second, but we'll see.  Also, I won't comment that the guy that's playing Roland is so cast against type as to not be even remotely like the guy in the book, but again...we'll see.
