Hile fellow Ka-Tet mates. Tadd and Peter come together to palaver about the Casting confirmations of Abbey Lee as well as the apparent confirmations of Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey. They also read emails of a new face or two and a few that have been in the DTP Tet for a while. They discuss if Low Men have a place in the larger series and even mention some claims from Reddit.

 

Send in emails or chime in on social media to join in the Palaver! Also review us on iTunes, and maybe even mention the show on The Dark Tower Subreddit if you get the chance.

Here are the notes for the newest show.

 

First up the shirt Tadd was wearing, and Peter made reference to.

Here is the link to the Deadline Article  to the main article we discussed, announcing Abbey Lee and confirming Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey.

Here is the Variety Article we reference briefly that seemed to more clearly confirm Idris and Matthew.

Here is the Deadline Article   we talked about that gave some news on MRC who is in charge of The Dark Tower movies, about them making a Rasputin TV series.

Finally here is the /Film Post    that we talked about that talked about The Mist TV show being developed and made reference to all the King projects that were upcoming or currently available.

That is our notes folks. Hope you enjoy(ed) the show.

 

First up here are the links to the articles mentioned in the show. Some are great reads, others are painful.

First the Lawyer Herald article that was mentioned, retracting their goof and making a few new ones.

Here is the Indiewire piece that talks about Idris Elba’s historic night as well as laments the fact that Idris seems to be criminally ignored by the industry.

Here is the Deadline Interview with Stephen King  where he goes into The Dark Tower and Hollywood’s track record at picking tent poles.

Lastly here is the Rolling Stone interview with Stephen King where he gives us vague hope that things are finally moving forward and Elba and McConaughey are indeed targeted for Roland and Flagg, respectively.

 

Here is the Elba picture that our good friend Lucas sent in.

 

Next here is a picture of the covers of the German versions of the series, from Lucas. Very cool.

 

Here is one more from Lucas of the German versions, this time on the shelf next to the Marvel Comics. A great looking set indeed.

Here is the Blind Guardian song that eulogizes Jake Chambers that Lucas shared with us.

 

Another one by Blind Guardian shared from Lucas. This one covers the whole series. Really great.

 

I think this is it, if not I will add more. Long Days and Pleasant Nights.
