Hile Gunslingers, here is the notes for the latest Round Table episode.

Before we got into the news we mentioned the Sombra Website, check it out.

The first article is confirming Jackie Earle Haley as Richard Sayre: “Jackie Earle Haley To Co-Star In ‘The Tick’ Amazon Pilot, Joins ‘The Dark Tower’ Film”

Jackie Earle Haley

Next is another article we talked about covering Haley being cast as Sayre: “The Dark Tower Added Jackie Earle Haley In A Role You Might Not Remember”

Next up is the casting news that Fran Kranz was cast as Pimli Prentiss: “Fran Kranz Joins Stephen King Adaptation ‘The Dark Tower’ (Exclusive)”

Fran Kranz

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.

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.
