Doing the notes in order of what we bring up means that this beauty is the first face you get to see this week. This is one we discussed because Chad Waller is doing prothstetics for the film and this was on his instagram. Turns out it is not for The Dark Tower but figured the finished product might be interesting. If nothing else to see his talent.

Demonic Nun by Chad Waller

Tadd mentions this (starts around 3:20 mark) as an idea for

inspiration for a theme for Blaine the Mono.

An example of the Ennio Morricone’s brilliant work in

The Good The Bad and The Ugly.

Now on to the photos discovered chasing the hashtag #DarkTower on Instagram. These are folks working on the film, and while we may not get huge reveals it does give us an insight into the production. For the sake of info I just screen grabbed the whole post so you could see the text they posted with the pictures.

First Chad Waller who is in the Prosthetics department. This is his badge and may be the reveal to the logo for the film.

First picture of Chad Waller’s work.

Second picture of Chad Waller’s work, looks like maybe an earlier version of the first picture.

Jo Stewart Fox Set Decorator posted this. Very interesting.

Jo Stewart Fox posts a shot of where she is at. Totally could see Mid-World here.

The last one from Jo Stewart Fox, she says it is a work fire so Dark Tower pretty much confirmed.

Francois Grobbelaar stunt man took this shot. Again could be showing us parts of Mid-World

Sonia Couto Phytotherapist giving us some twins and a doorway under the mountain.

Clint Jacobs stuntman gives us a shot of some very lush scenery.

Nicolas Aithadi visual effects supervisor shows us his tent at the production camp, must be a desolate shooting location.

Last one, one of the Conceptual Artists for the film posted this practice drawing. That looks like a rough sketch of Elba as Roland.

Lastly here is one of the Dark Tower inspired compositions by the talented Gavin Dale. Until next time Gunslingers.

 

Hile Gunslingers, join the boys in a palaver digging deep into the books of the Dark Tower Series. Tadd and Peter continue on the journey to the Dark Tower as they approach the Way Station and meet a young boy seemingly from another world. They keep the spoilers light to make it safe for both newcomers and experienced Gunslingers. So grab your copy of The Gunslinger and join the DTP Ka-Tet in Mid-World either for the first time or the 19th time.

Come fellow Ka-Tet, let us palaver. Tadd and Peter come together to palaver about the (few year old) Goldsman/Pinkner script and digging into what it may tell us all about the film that is to be. Of course no palaver would be complete without email from the larger Ka-tet and the boys go through the emails touching on Stephen King’s crazy mountain of work, as well as ample deep discussion on Flagg and his motives.
