I've read all the books, and loved them, but I've always said that it could not be made effectively into a movie. It might have worked as a ten hour miniseries, but the whole dynamics have been changed to make this one, so I'll skip it, rather than become enraged after seeing it.
shareThanks for sharing. Take care. :)
shareAbsolutely right. This isn't the dark tower, it's a teen hunger games superhero movie designed for morons. Watch the idiots chime in because they can't handle the truth.
shareYou are quite the freedom fighter. Opressed movie goers who don't know what's good for them will love you.
You are also Nostrdeamus apparently. Tell me who is going to win the Superbowel.
You're right, Jerry. People shouldn't complain or do anything. They should keep buying the tickets instead of wanting good products. You totally understand capitalism and democracy. If we just go with the flow, things will get better just because. We should get rid of all unions too, Jerry. I was wrong about everything!
shareRemember that this is an franchise who's fanbase is supposedly full of mature adults.

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing .
Which is why they won't be showing up for the pathetic YA sequel to the books.
shareI still do not understand why you or Tyler say this is being made as a YA series. Please explain to me, with evidence, why you believe this to be true. It seems an extraneous position, but I'm really interested in the why. Care to elaborate, civilly?
shareI'd like to find this out too. If, as Jer says, that it's because it focus's on Jake in the trailer to some extent, then the accusers of this being a YA film forget that a lot of The Wasteland focused on Jake and him finding Roland and the Ka-tet.
Does this make that book targeted at a young audience? To really go for a youth audience it needs to show a lot of media (interviews, magazines, leaked information etc.) aimed at a young audience.
What we have had is an entertainment weekly cover with ELba and McConaughey, interviews from the two, a series of tweets from both, a Charlie the Choo Choo book aimed towards the fans of the books and one picture of Jake. This clearly isn't aimed at a young audience, you need only use google to find out as much.
There's also the fact that if it was aimed at a younger audience, then said audience would go out a buy the books. The books feature killing, rape, derogatory slurs and other things that would put them off straight away so it's just bad business to do so. I have enough trust in a billion dollar corporation not aiming a series of adult themed books at a young audience so that they can make more money than I do a few naysayers on an internet board with nothing better to do than point out that this isn't what they wanted whilst throwing their toys out the pram. It'll be adult themed but it just happens to feature a child (as have many other films and tv series), if featuring a child makes it aimed at a young audience, I refer these people again to the books.
I would love to know what other reasons people have for saying its targeted at a younger auience, genuinely. if it ends up being so, I'll still see it - I love the books! I'm a fan of the series and the graphic novels (which definitely weren't aimed at a young audience and well worth a read). If anyone can enlighten me, I'd much appreciate it (again, genuinely).
Imagine that you are a detective. Look at the evidence. Ever play like a CSI computer game or something? Or maybe you farted by yourself in an elevator and had to figure out the tough case of who dun it?
