A while back we reported that Amazon had snagged the rights to adapt Stephen King’s The Dark Tower for a new series. Things have been quiet since, up until now. Amazon has now cast the series’ two most important characters, the Gunslinger and the Man in Black. Sam Strike who stars in NBC’s “Timeless” and played Jackson in Leatherface, will be playing the role of the Gunslinger aka Roland Deschain. Roland is the story’s protagonist who comes from a long line of Gunslingers, those who serve as peacekeepers. Jasper Paakkonen, star of “Vikings” and Spike Lee’s Oscar-winning film BlackkKlansman will portray the Man in Black also known as Marten Broadcloak and Randall Flagg, who eventually becomes Roland’s archnemesis throughout King’s books. “The Walking Dead’s” Glen Mazzara is set to serve as showrunner for the series that has nothing to do with the 2017 film starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey.

It feels like every day we are reporting or giving an update on another Stephen King adaptation (not that we are complaining). Today we have an update on Amazon Studios’ upcoming series adaptation of King’s The Dark Tower. According to That Hashtag Show, the series is set to begin production this April in Croatia and will have a 13-episode first season. Casting is still being kept hush, hush at this point but it will be interesting to see who is cast in the roles of Roland and Walter. The 2017 movie starred Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey, and while it had King’s support before the PG-13 release, after it opened in theaters he got very quiet. By the end of it, The Dark Tower only scored a mere 16 on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans were let down due to the amount of story that was left out due to time constraints and the way that everything was rushed to try to

John Borowski is well known for his documentary films, which give an in-depth look at various serial killers. Not only has Borowski focused on the likes of Carl Panzram, Albert Fish and H.H. Holmes, but has also done a documentary and subsequent TV series that explore the cultural obsession and influence of serial killers on society, aptly named Serial Killer Culture. This most recent documentary, which marks a bit of a departure from Borowski’s usual subject matter, deals with abuse, pain and anguish, all painted in a very different light. His subject this time is Vincent Castiglia, a well-known and renowned artist, whose preferred medium is human blood…primarily his own. So to say this man puts his life force into his work would be absolutely true. What Borowski does in this film is give the viewer a glimpse into the life of this artist that is incredibly straight forward and raw. He not only details Vincent’s brilliant artwork, but also
