#47 - The Dark Tower (2017) - How Not To Adapt a Book Series
from The Cinedicate: Film & TV Podcast
On this special episode of Cinedicate, chase after the Man in Black on our quest towards the nexus of all time and space. Joey and Christian join the cinematic roundtable as we discuss Stephen King's magnum opus and its terrible film adaptation, The Dark Tower. The Man in Black fled across the desert and The Gunslinger followed. The Dark Tower series follows Roland, the last of a long line of gunslingers, his world's version of a knight. His quest is to reach The Tower as his world, Mid-World, falls into decay around him. Stephen King over the course of seven novels combined the genres of Western, Fantasy, Science-Fiction, and Noir. In 2017, someone thought it would be a great idea to boil it all down in a 90-minute film. Listen now as we detail why this was a horrible decision. Connect with Cinedicate on these social platforms!
