Fans of Star Wars: The Clone Wars know this was a breakthrough season. Not only did the quality of the animation seemingly jump to lightspeed, but the stories went deeper into that Galaxy Far, Far Away than ever before with thought-provoking episodes tackling politics, financial corruption, and terrorism. Not the Star Wars you grew up with, to be sure, but a fresh new take on George Lucas’s enduring space opera for the post-9/11 era. In fact, you wouldn’t be far off if you likened supervising director Dave Filoni’s reimagining of Star Wars to Ronald D. Moore and David Eick’s take on Battlestar Galactica. Especially since BSG-alum Katee Sackhoff is voicing a character on The Clone Wars next season!
Here’s what we know about The Dark Tower to date. It’s the Stephen King work that’s been planned for adaptation by Ron Howard, who is looking to do part of the story as a series of movies, and the rest as an NBC television series.
Ron Howard is set to direct the opening movie, and possibly the first season of the TV show, and Javier Bardem has been cast in the lead role as the Gunslinger, and MTV is linking the likes of Naomie Harris with the project too.
Furthermore, it’s now been revealed, too that Mark Verheiden has signed up to co-write and produce the television segment of the project. He’s got a background in the likes of Heroes, Falling Skies and – yes! - Battlestar Galactica.
This still leaves up in the air the question over who will take charge of later films. But given that we’re looking at easily one of the more ambitious attempts to bring a book to the screen, then it’s understandable that it’s going to take time for everything to slot into place.
We’ll have more on The Dark Tower on the site on Monday.
All I can say is Zack DO NOT MAKE SUPERMAN LIKE THIS, this was the worst movie I have ever seen. I would rather watch US Seals II 1000 times in a row than this movie again.
Capital D – for stupid.
