After Sony and Media Rights Capital aquired the rights for Stephen King’s grand dystopian Sci-Fi-Western The Dark Tower it now looks as if the production is closing in on a director:

There hasn’t been much news on the adaption of Stephen King’s enormous 7-book tale about a Gunslinger called Roland in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, searching for a mysterious Dark Tower (which to King’s writing credit makes absolute sense in book form even if that synopsis might make it sound very bland). But now there is actual news to report:
Well this isn’t really big news – but after all the meager The Dark Tower news in recent months (the last news was that Ron Howard did not want to let the project die), I am happy to comment on this tidbit:
Aaron Paul is in talks for the role of Eddie Dean. Eddie is a heroin addict from the New York of 1987. He is trapped in a world of drugs, broken family ties and mafia troubles when on top of all his problems comes a crazy gunslinger from another dimension and they both have to figure out why the hell they should work together.
Crazy enough to work?
