Amazon Cancels Their Series “The Dark Towers”

For years Amazon has been teasing that a new series based in Stephen King’s The Dark Towers was coming. In fact, they were even announcing cast members this summer. Unfortunately, the series has now been canceled. Damn it. Deadline is reporting that the streaming service feels that series from showrunner and executive producer Glen Mazzara was “not on the level of other large scope elevated genre series,” like their upcoming “Lord of the Rings” series. The series would have followed King’s Novel closer than 2017’s film adaptation which bombed. It would have explored the origin story of Roland Deschain and his fight with the man in black. The cast was rumored to include Michael Rooker, Jerome Flynn, and Joana Ribeiro, among others.

Michael Rooker And Sam Strike Star In Amazon’s “The Dark Tower” Series

Two years after Idris Elba starred as the gunslinger Roland Deschain in The Dark Tower, based on the novels by Stephen King, the story is getting a series adaptation from Amazon with Sam Strike (Leatherface) set to star as Roland. The series, which is currently filming, has added “Walking Dead” actor Michael Rooker to the cast. According to Deadline, “The Dark Tower” will be “independent from the film and is meant to be a more faithful retelling of the book than the movie was.” I hear it will take place many years before the events depicted in the film, and will focus on Roland Deschain’s (Strike) origin story – how he first became a gunslinger and got his guns, his first conflict with the man in black, his first love and his first mission as a gunslinger.” Jasper Pääkkönen (BlacKKKlansman), Jarome Flynn (“Game of Thrones”), Ivan Kaye (“Vikings”), Ana Padrão (Cabaret Maxime), Abraham Popoola (Les Misérables), and Joana Ribeiro (The

Walking Dead Producers File Suit Against AMC – Is This The Beginning Of The End ?

We all know that AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’ is a HUGE success. And of course with success comes the desire for people to get what they believe they deserve. The executive producers of TWD have filed suit against AMC. Frank Darabont, the show’s creator, filed a lawsuit back in 2013 following his termination halfway through the second season. Darabont claims that AMC denied him profits promised from the series by the network. Now, the show might really be in trouble. Comic book creator and series co-creator Robert Kirkman along with executive producers Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, and Glen Mazzara have filed suit against AMC making similar claims as Darabont. The group are challenging the amount AMC pays its in-house studio, AMC Studios, THR reports. ‘The Walking Dead’ is not the only series that could be affected. Both ‘Fear the Walking Dead’, and ‘Talking Dead’ are also included in the suit. This case arises from a major entertainment conglomerate’s failure

‘Walking Dead’s Glen Mazzara Signs On As Showrunner For ‘Dark Tower’ Series

Even with The Dark Towers getting a lukewarm (at best) reception from critics, the series adaption is still moving forward. It has just been announced by Sony and Media Rights Capital that they have hired The Walking Dead’s former executive producer Glen Mazzara as the series’ showrunner. Set to have between 10 and 13 episodes per season, the series will begin production in 2018. The film adaptation’s lead actor Idris Elba will star as Roland. Dennis Haybert will play the role of Roland’s father, Steven. Tom Taylor has also joined the cast to play Jake Chambers. In an interview, co-writer and producer Akiva Goldsman announced that writing the scripts has begun. The first episode of a show has been written, and we hope to retain Ron Howard’s original idea to mix platforms, something that seemed revolutionary 10 years ago but now is something that others have done,” Goldsman said. “Idris for sure is part of this, and if the movie

Travel To ‘Sin City’ In New TV Series

A television adaption of Frank Miller’s iconic graphic novel series Sin City is being developed by TWC and Dimension. The series will remain closely tied to the books, more so than the film adaptions and will be far different from the Sin City films and will introduce new original characters, Deadline reports. Glen Mazzara who has been involved with The Walking Dead, The Shield, and Damien will be serving as showrunner and writer for the series directed by Len Wiseman who produced the Underworld franchise. Stephen L’Heureux of Sin City: A Dame to Kill will produce along with Miller, Mazzara, Wiseman, and Bob and Harvey Weinstein.
