The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger Trailer (FICTIONAL)

Ever since I started reading Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' series I've been thinking about how it could be made into a film. I always made a connection between King's story and Sergio Leone's Westerns. And so I came to this little experiment. It is basically represents a fictional film made of 'The Gunslinger' with none other than Leone in the director's chair.
I used footage from 'Once Upon A Time In The West' because I always imagined Roland looking like Charles Bronson. In this trailer he is the Gunslinger, Henry Fonda is the Man In Black, the little boy is Jake and Claudia Cardinale is Allie.
The music is Ennio Morricone's 'Ecstasy of Gold' from the film 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'.
'Once Upon A Time In The West' belongs to Paramount Pictures. 'The Dark Tower' belongs to Stephen King.

Hands down the very best video you've made yet! This thing gives me chills... it's that good. Very impressive work and I'll be referencing this one for inspiration in the future.

Thank you!

[@MtGuyful]

1;32 perfectly timed!!!
Ahh imagine it is Roland shooting the wolves there!!!! AHHHHHH can't wait for the movie and I really hope they don't mess it up

[@Duootje]

Nicely made. Henri Fonda is the man in black, great!

[@Giel1987]

You know, I always thought that if some existing music should be tied to the Dark Tower, Extacy of Gold, by Ennio Morricone would be perfect. And you did it. Good.

[@kaptaintrips]

Nicely done. Bronson does indeed look like how I imagined Rolland.
I don't see any way the epic series could ever translate properly onto film and I feel like it shouldn't even be attempted.

[@ComptonCity310]

WOW.! Just the way i imagine it. A bit more dark backgrounds, but creatively done.

[@RedBandMagic02]

Ron Howard is directing The Dark Tower and it is being released in May 2013.

[@mahrunes]

The movie is no rumor. It's coming out in 2013 with Ron Howard as the director. It's going to be a trilogy with a tv show running between the movies

The Dark Tower is the greatest fictional series i have ever read, let alone seen, it DESERVES a movie, but i reckon it will take too much time to make the story unrushed and set at an even pace, especially how how the history of roland and his world is unveiled later on in the books

[@HenrytheWolf]

@TheWraith It is...and one of the most popular ones...

[@georgekostaras]

I think the dark tower could be a great anime. Anybody who's ever seen Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust knows what I mean.

[@SteVin89]

@kaptaintrips You are probably right. 'The Dark Tower' would be a hard nut to crack even for the most talented and experienced filmmaker.

[@SteVin89]

@dizrob I have no doubt the special-effects would be great but what I was saying concerned the story telling. It would be very hard to film the narrative as it exists in the books.

[@okay818]

Imagine if Pixar did this. It would look amazing.

[@DreadedEd]

King did explained that his Gunslinger was based on The Clint Eastwood Gunslinger

[@dizrob]

@SteVin89 They said that about the lord of the rings but with modern effects it could be translated beautifully.

[@SteVin89]

I didn't forget, it's just that there's no woman in 'Once Upon A Time In The West' (nor in any other Sergio Leone western) with a scar on here forehead.

[@thewraithORIGINALCHANNEL]
