Desmond Harrington as Eddie Harrington would be excellent! …..I’ve always wanted to see Adrian Brody as Eddie. 🙂

Frank, didn’t you say somewhere that you’d like to see Josh Brolin as Roland? I think he’s the best choice too.
(did you see “Jonah Hex”? I really like that movie, and Brolin was good as Hex.🙂)

Didn't see Jonah Hex, but Josh Brolin as Roland....i could see that. Roland is supposed to be middle aged on that cusp of getting older. He's supposed to be weathered and worn down, and Josh Brolin is person that can actually pull that off.

I think he has even surpassed his father James in acting.
(Jonah Hex is a creepy cowboy DC comics character from way back. I think you might like it. I bet edwardjohn is probably familiar with the title/character.🙂)

I’m trying to think of who I would like to see cast as Susannah/Detta/Odetta.😊 And Walter…. plus Jake. I think the boy in the Dark Tower movie was rather good.

Joe, you a fan of Jonah Hex the movie? I ask Joe, Wolf, because we tend to like movies that no one else did.

Yap, the boy in the movie was good, but he's too old now. I think they should cast a 9-10 year unknown actor for Jake. Yes, I wasn’t thinking of him for the series. Maybe one of the little boys that starred in the movie “Antlers”. I think they both did some awesome acting. But they might be a bit too young at this point.
I haven’t seen Ashley Romans in much, but I really like her, and think she might be good asSusannah. 🙂

Who do you guys want to see in these roles? 😊 Hard to beat Idris Elba and Mathew McConaughey to be fair ... but if I was to suggest actors of today other than them ... hmmm ... Michael Shannon as The Man in Black and Chris Pine as Roland.

Michael Shannon as The Man in Black and Chris Pine as Roland. Interesting choices! 😊 I still say Elba was excellent as “A” Gunslinger, but he just isn’t the Roland we know. He was good! As was Matthew, but he just wasn’t the Walter we know either. Not sure about Shannon.
Frank chose Robert Carlyle for Walter in another thread…he would make a great Man in Black,but I just can’t picture him as “the walking dude” too.
I’m still contemplating it all. 😊

I’m still contemplating it all. 😊 Interesting! I think Michael just makes an excellent villain, regardless of who he plays. I would very much like another Dark Tower movie rather than a tv show (not the biggest fan of tv when it comes to stuff like this, fantasy and all). Pine is just your typical leading man, I think, but I don't know if there would be anyone else. Josh Brolin would be the perfect choice, but I wanted to pick someone a little different.
I'm sort of glad we never got that Amazon tv show. The cast and creators involved never really impressed me. Plus, I was never a biggest fan of that fourth (or third?) Dark Tower book that dealt with Roland's teenage years. But, weirdly, the comicbooks from that period are awesome, the Marvel ones. They did a book about the Fall of Gilead and Jericho Hill (written by Peter David) that are just awesome. If I was going to make a movie, then I'd adapt those.
Insanely, I think I might like the comic books a little more than the actual books. Stephen King and Robin Furth basically told David what happened in these events that were briefly mentioned in the book, then Marvel went away and did books about them; they are seriously good. All those Marvel Dark Tower comic books are really good.

Now Shannon? HE is always superb at playing the villain. He can exude such magnificent malevolence. (he really made the viewer loathe and deteste him in “The Shape of Water”. He was awesome as a good guy in “Nocturnal Creatures”, check that one out if you haven’t seen it yet.) I”m not sure ‘his style’ is very well suited for King’s character though.
The one great, that could portray Walter in ALL of his incarnations, from “Eyes of the Dragon” to “The Stand” to The Dark Tower series is……
The Depp. 😊

The Depp. 😊 YES! I agree. The guy that played TMIB back in the 90's Stand show was really good, I thought. I really never liked the 2020 The Stand show nor the guy who played TMIB in that. Although, the guy that played TMIB in the 2020 show is a good actor, I've liked him in other things.

Matthew had an ease about him and none of the ‘too rough around the edges’.
Alexander Skaarsgard is excellent. I’d like to see his take on the character. What is that Stand series on? Apple?…Amazon?….maybe I can catch the first episode for free today. (a bit tired today, and going to goof off. Maybe have a couple of stout drinks before Pay Day dinner tonight.😊)
Who do you think would make a good Eddie? Or Susannah, Edders? 😊

But seriously, Wolf, don't bother with that The Stand show, Frank'll tell ya, its seriously bad.
Pay day dinner! Always the best.

I thought of Angela Bassett as Susannah/Detta/Odetta, but at this point she may be too old to play Susannah.
