random thought of the day

There was talk about doing stephen kings dark tower series, which is 7 books long as 3 movies and a tv series. I just read it,s not going to happen and i have to say good. Theres no way in hell you could try doing all 7 books as 3 movies and even if the tv series were to be based on some of the books it still would,t work and i,ll tell you why. Theres just too much story to do it the way they were planning too. Lets think about how they might have done it, movie 1 would be based on the first book then season 1 of the tv show would be book 2 then the 2nd movie would be based on book 3 then season 2 would cover book 4 then the last movie would be based on the last book. So they would be leaving out books 5 and 6 and you really can,t leave out anything. The last book ties up everything from the books and even answers stuff that happend in kings other books. Anyone taking on the dark tower as a movie series needs to treat it the same way the harry potter movies were treated. You need to do it as 7 movies and stay very faithful to the books. If harry potter was a kids movie series then hollywood needs to think of the dark tower as a fantasy series for grown ups. These movies sould be just as big, epic as lord of the rings but something more for grown ups. I think the biggest problem will be these movies will have to be RATED R. hollywood just does,t want to take a risk on a R RATED FANTASY MOVIE. Unless the dark tower movies are R RATED then there is no point in even trying to do them. If hollywood trys to water them down by making the movies PG-13, then i say find a another fantasy series to make into the next big thing and leave the dark tower series alone. Tell me what you think, do you agree or disagree with me.
