Always liked the actor anyway, but for naysayers you gotta admit he does look cool with a bit of swag.

I'm in. Just hope the rest of the film is good.
Wait does he have two intact hands?
I'm not getting when this timeline is supposed to be happening at all.
Free will is a golden thread running through the frozen matrix of fixed events.
As far as the time line, it appears they are simply taking names and places from the books and plugging them into their own narrative. Don't be surprised if the end result is The Dark Tower in name only.
shareIt's looking that way for sure.

Yeah this is an in name only adaption that's obviously being made by a crew who couldn't care less about the books. On the bright side this will be a colossal flop so they won't get chance to butcher it anymore beyond this one film.

Wait does he have two intact hands?As far as I know, the movie's story isn't happening during any timeline we've read about. It's picking up where the end of DT:VII left off and takes place in the next (and presumably, the last) cycle of Roland's journey, as evidenced by the Horn of Eld being in his possession. Assuming they won't add Roland's injuries via CGI, him being physically whole is just one of many things that have changed on this particular journey. share

He looks ridiculous. He looks like they've tried desperately hard to make him look cool, to the point where it's just pathetic and because of it he looks nothing like he should in any way at all.
shareHe looks cooler than you, I wager!
shareWell I'm not dressed like a matrix reject put through a Wild West filter, so that's a no on that.
Darabont understood how Roland should look (see the painting in the opening of the mist), that is how he should have looked for this. But Arcel is a hack who chose the worst possible choice for Roland and then dressed him in the lamest looking outfit he could.
Still haven't pointed out the "Matrix" bit. No, a longcoat alone doesn't count.

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing .
I agree. He should look more western-like. I'm not saying total western cliché look, but somewhere in the middle of the protagonists in spaghetti westerns and this look. He just looks like a protagonist of some bad 90s movie.
