Lights Out For Steven King’s ‘The Dark Tower’ At Warner Bros.

The big-screen adaptation of Steven King’s The Dark Tower has hit yet another setback, as Warner Bros. have chosen to pass on the project. Not too long ago news broke that the studio had commissioned a new script, and even had Russell Crowe expressing an interest in the lead role of Roland ‘The Gunslinger’ Deschain. There was a decision expected in the next few weeks and it appears that decision has been made and the dark tower isn’t going to be seeing the light of day at Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. are the second major studio to pass on the adaptation of King’s series of novels. Originally Universal were planning on taking the project on with Ron Howard set to direct. Imagine Entertainment is apparently still determined to find a studio, but it’s definitely not looking too great for this project right now. When Universal first let go of the film, most insiders around town believed Warner Bros. was its best chance of getting made.
