I'm kinda torn with them making a movie on the series...

The series is by far my absolute favorite series of books, and IMO the culmination of Stephen King's writing career, and i would hate for a movie to be released which doesn't do it justice (as has happened with several of his book-to-film adaptations, unfortunately)

Whenever i read he books, I tend to see Roland as someone like Sam Elliott, with Eddie Dean as Timothy Oliphant, Suzannah as Zoe Saldana, and Jake as someone like Nathan Kress...

Unfortunately, the pictures someone else puts on screen can never fully match my own imaginings as i read the books, but there have been some great adaptations too, particularly from his short story's like Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me.. Maybe short stories lend more room for interpretation??

Still not sure if i want to see a movie or not, i just hope it doesn't disappoint..
