Sci-fi Master Damon Lindelof on Nurturing The Dark Tower

Posted by dominie in Films, News on September 3rd, 2008

According to AMCtv.com, Damon Lindelof, the executive producer of Lost and Star Trek, is working on the rights to adapt Stephen King’s ultimate horror fantasy series The Dark Tower for the big screen!   Check it out; his approach is that of a nurturing baby.  I don’t think we’ll have to stay up and worry about this one.

Lindelof tells AMC, “The Dark Tower is to me every bit as daunting an adaptation as the Lord of the Rings trilogy must have been for Peter Jackson, except we’ve got seven books we’re looking at. And the idea of doing that at the same time Carlton and I are bringing Lost to a close is simply not viable. There are always Dark Tower conversations, but the figuring out of what this will look like as a movie has not begun. If The Dark Tower were in the right hands, I would love to see seven movies executed just right. But you have to get people to see the first one to get them to come and see the second one.”
