We have been following the new film adaption of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower closely. Starring Idris Elba as Roland,” The Gunslinger” and Matthew McConaughey as the villainous “Man in Black”, the adaption is in the hands of director Nikolaj Arcel, who co-wrote the script along with Akiva Goldsman. Last week we revealed photos from the set that gave us our first look at Roland and the “Man in Black”. Now, a series of stills from the film have been unveiled via Entertainment Weekly. In an interview with the magazine Elba describes Roland as “a bit lost.”He continues to say, “He’s been walking around for a long time, so he definitely feels like a man who is…coiled.” Elba goes on to say that at the start of the film, “Roland is driven by rage…” but deep down “He’s a protector.

There have been a lot comments on the decision to cast Idris Elba as “The Gunslinger” in Nikolaj Arcel’s upcoming adaption of The Dark Tower. I’ve heard both positive and negative remarks. Some have an issues with the choice because the actor and the character (in the book) are different races. It’s true, Roland (The Gunslinger) is Caucasian in the books, but should that dictate who is cast in the film? Stephen King spoke out via Twitter on the decision. King created the character, so I think his verdict should be important and of course, King makes a great point. Elba is a talented actor. Personally I believe he’ll do a great job. Elba has appeared in a large array of films and genres, always leaving me impressed by his performances. Not only did he star in Prometheus, he also had roles in Pacific Rim, Thor: The Dark World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Unborn, and many other films and
