THE DARK TOWER: New Featurette Offers A Look Back At The Gunslinger's Storied Legacy
With Spider-Man: Homecoming nearing release, Sony Pictures has started to slowly shift their attention to their late summer release The Dark Tower and last night, they released a sweet new featurette.
"I do not aim with my hand, I aim with my eye. I do not shoot with my hand, I shoot with my mind. I do not kill with my gun. I kill with my heart."
It's been a long time coming, but The Dark Tower is just over a month away now and with Spider-Man: Homecoming releasing worldwide within the next two weeks, it shouldn't be a huge surprise if a new final trailer for the Stephen King adaptation, which stars Golden Globe-winner Idris Elba (Thor: Ragnarok) as the legendary Gunslinger and Academy Award-winner Matthew McConaughey (Gold) as the nefarious Man in Black, is with us sometime before then.
The Nikolaj Arcel-directed feature is certainly one of this summer's biggest wildcards, but if it manages to garner a decent critical reception, it has a good shot at cleaning up at the box office during August, especially considering its modest $60 million budget and with little-to-no competition coming from any fellow sci-fi affairs in the late summer months.
Check out the new featurette below:
There are other worlds than these. Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, the ambitious and expansive story from one of the world’s most celebrated authors, makes its launch to the big screen. The last Gunslinger, Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O’Dim, also known as the Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey), determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower, which holds the universe together. With the fate of the worlds at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black.
