It will be a trilogy of movies and 2 seasons of TV. Universal stated the first film will open in May of 2013. Much too long to wait.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...ries_film_adaptationFunnily enough before searching more into the movie I thought maybe christian bale or the villian from No Country for Old Men (Javier Bardem) would make a good Roland, these two are rumored to be some of the top prospects. Another rumor is Viggo Mortensen (A history of violence lead). I think Viggo would be a perfect fit IMO.
Casting rumors for sussannah dean are Naomie Harris, Jennifer Carpenter and Ghita Tazi (?). I really like Jennifer Carpenter as an actor (Dexter, Exorcism of Emily Rose, Quarantine), but I would be really disappointed if they don't cast a black female in this role. I think it is really important to the characters history and especially the timeframe that this character comes from. They would have to write an entirely different back story and have different motivations.
It'll be interesting who they will decide to cast for Eddie, I'm drawing a blank on who I would like.
I've just started reading the series and I'm just about to finish Wizard and Glass. So try to keep any spoilers to a minimum.
