I’ve often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?

    Bit of a normie but the Dark Tower series would be awesome. Mixing tons of genres, having very different locations to film in. It would be extremely expensive to produce.

    The gunslinging of Idris Elba in the movie was nice but everything else wasn’t.

      Yeah. That movie was a disappointment. I love Idris Elba in everything he does, but that movie should not have been made lol

        When I first saw the casting I thought Elba was going to play the man in black and McConaughey was going to be Roland which I thought was great casting but then they flipped it around.

      Came here to say this. But tbf It will always be a horrible adaptation for a movie, even the first book, the shortest one, is to much for a movie.

      Also I don’t think they would ever adapt Odetta the way she is and she is awesome

      Mike Flanagan is making the TV series. It’s been in the works for a year or so and has King’s nod of approval on it. No casting has been solidified yet and stuff is of course currently halted due to the strikes, but it’s currently a high priority project after Hollywood can start up again.
