"The thing is, it's been a long trip from the books to the film," King said about The Dark Tower when it entered production. "I'm delighted, and I'm a little bit surprised."
King has described The Dark Tower as his magnum opus, wherein he created a world that ties together many of his novels. The Dark Tower is said to take place during the events of just the first book in the series.
Directed by Nikolaj Arcel (A Royal Affair), The Dark Tower is slated for a January 13, 2017 release. Nicole is a freelance writer for IGN. You can follow her on Twitter.
