Yup, especially when NBC gets 5 weeks in and decides to cut it due to low ratings, throwing everything into a mess.

Film 3 - Wolves of the Calla/Song of Susannah/Dark Tower
I'm sure the content of the final three books will be massively truncated. Some have speculated that Wolves & Song of Susannah may be cut almost entirely.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. I am excited for a little more info on the exact breakdown.

That would suck if they cut Wolves. I thought that story was awesome.

Wolves is actually my favorite book in the series. I'd be really, REALLY bummed to see it cut. It's a really exceptional book. It's so visual too.

Would it be wrong to say they aren't really wolves, rather they are robots that can be deactivated by shooting the mini-radar dish on their heads? And that Andy the Messenger Robot, along with Benny Slightman's dad, are betraying the Calla to the wolves?

I think it would be okay to say that as long as you didn't say that Eddie dies a couple of books later, then Jake shortly thereafter but it's okay because Susannah joins them again in some alternate world leaving Roland to find and enter the tower all by himself in a typical Steven King hell-of-a-story-teller-but-can't-end-a-book-to-save-his-life ending.

I enjoyed the story, but it felt a little out of place in the meta-story. I could definitely see the vast majority of that book being cut...

I'd say it has potential disaster written all over it. But if - IF - they can pull it off...

Also, I think casting is going to be paramount in this endeavor. I imagine getting "elite," "A-list" stars to sign on to this kind of thing (movie + series) with the time commitment it will require is going to be a bitch. Miscast Roland it's over.

He should have been cast as the Trash Can Man in Stand. No make up needed.
