Undoubtedly, for fans of King's work, this trailer and the forthcoming movie are a real treat. However, Arcel notes the character's important contribution to the storyline and says that he certainly envisions including them in the future. In the novels, Eddie and Susannah don't appear until the second book, so technically they shouldn't be there for the first installment anyway, but other characters that appear in much later books, are featured in this first movie. Together, the four form a ka-tet in the novels - basically a telepathic family - but this time half of the ka-tet won't be appearing. One such change that viewers will notice in The Dark Tower, is the exclusion of Eddie Dean and Susannah Walker Roland and Jake's companions from New York City. However, such is the nature of The Dark Tower worlds, that this movie could be taking place in another universe, at another time a repetition of Roland's journey but with changes dotted throughout. The movie is based on the first book of the series, while simultaneously drawing influence from all the books in the series. However, such an epic body of work presents problems when being adapted for the big screen.ĭirector Nikolaj Arcel has taken a unique route with The Dark Tower, by presenting it as an adaptation and also a continuation of Roland's story. That said, for the most part, the story is all valid and worthy of being told in such detail. King's original work spans seven novels and multiple comic books it really is the tale that never ends. For Roland, the only purpose to his life anymore is his endless quest to find the titular tower, and all the time he is both chasing and being perused by The Man in Black. Following the death of his father, Jake finds himself in another world, where he meets the Gunslinger in the desert. Starring alongside Elba and McConaughey will be newcomer Tom Taylor as young Jake Chambers.
