Status report on epic adaptation
Brian Grazer spoke to The New York Post’s Page Six regarding The Dark Tower adaptation and said he is now working with Ron Howard “to get outside financing to make it, and distribute it through a major [studio].”
Howard is moving on to direct Formula One while money is pulled together and, hopefully, 2012 will be the year The Dark Tower finally gets rolling. But don’t hold your breath. Anything could happen.
Last month, Universal killed Howard/Grazer’s proposed The Dark Tower endeavor, an epic adaptation of the Stephen King series that would be told across three films and a television series. Grazer is still hopeful for the television show, says Page Six. Now, it could go to any network and is not restricted to NBC/Universal.
Page Six adds Javier Bardem remains on board as Roland the gunslinger.
