There is word that Director Nikolaj Arcel, who co-wrote the Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and also directed the Academy Award- nominated A Royal Affair, is in talks to direct Stephen King’s The Dark Tower for Sony Pictures.
Ron Howard is still in the producing chair, and Sony wants Arcel to re-write the script that Akiva Goldsman and Jeff Pinker had previoiusly written.
Stephen King is excited that his book will finally make it to the big screen, us Tower Junkies hold on and wait patiently for The Gunslinger to cast its beautiful Dark Tower shadow on our local 40ft screen.
But for the junkies who can’t wait until Sony can present a polished film, you can always catch Susannah’s Lesson on youtube, a film by our very own Shahab Zargari!
