The Dark Tower is an upcoming American science fantasy western action horror film directed and co-written by Nikolaj Arcel,[2] marketed by Sony as a part of the Connected KINGdom franchise, which connects previous film adaptations by the author through The Dark Towers interdimensional setting. Currently, the franchise composes of the films The Shining (1980), Christine (1983), The Shawshank Redemption (1994), Carrie and It, with a reboot of The Stand in early development.[3] The film is a continuation of Stephen King's novel series of the same name, the film stars Idris Elba as Roland Deschain, a gunslinger on a quest to protect the Dark Tower – a mythical structure which supports all realities – and Matthew McConaughey as his nemesis, Walter o'Dim, the "Man in Black".[4]
Intended to launch a film and television franchise, the first installment combines elements from several novels in the eight-volume series, taking place partly in modern-day New York City and partly in Mid-World, Roland's Old West-style parallel universe. Additionally, King has tweeted a photo of the Horn of Eld with the caption "Last Time Around", which relates to the ending of the final book, The Dark Tower VII; Arcel has said that fans will know the movie is a sequel to the books' events.[5] The film is set to be released on August 4, 2017, in 3D and 2D by Columbia Pictures.
