The Dark Tower Status Update
September 3rd, 2008 in Action, Directors, Sci-Fi
About a year ago Lost executive producer Damon Lindelof picked up the rights to The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. However, he hasn’t done anything with it, and doesn’t plan on doing anything until the end of Lost.
Fortunately, the good news is that he plans on adapting the seven books into a seven film series.
“The Dark Tower is to me every bit as daunting an adaptation as the Lord of the Rings trilogy must have been for Peter Jackson, except we’ve got seven books we’re looking at,” he said. “The idea of doing that at the same time Carlton and I are bringing Lost to a close is simply not viable.”
He adds that figuring out what the films will look like has not begun yet, and that he would be glad to make a seven film series out of the books.
