The 2017 adaptation of The Dark Tower mangled Stephen King's epic novel series, and the author himself has thoughts on what went wrong with the film.
Stephen King's review of what went wrong with 2017's The Dark Tower proves the would-be franchise starter was always doomed. King's Dark Tower is an epic, fantasy Western novel series that ran from 1982 to 2004. It's one of King's towering literary achievements, but its dense mythology and mammoth scale make it difficult to adapt for live-action. After years of failed attempts by filmmakers like Ron Howard and J.J.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Serving as something of a sequel to The Dark Tower books, the 2017 film felt rushed - coming in at a scant 95-minute runtime - and lacked the scale and ambition of King's source material.

Flanagan is a huge Dark Tower fan, and told Script Apart that the 2017 film " ...
The 2017 Dark Tower movie tried to water the premise down into a family-friendly blockbuster, but that's fundamentally not what King's saga is about. It's a genre-blending epic that features a rich world and incredible characters. Flanagan has proven time and again how much he understands Stephen King's books, and it's hard to imagine a better shepherd to bring Roland's story to the small screen.
