When is this scheduled to release? I am seeing Feb 2017. If so, trailer release?

I take back what I previously said about Elba being no Roland. Maybe not my first choice, but I am more excited for Elba as Roland than MM as Walter.
Looks like Wizard and Glass will be the companion TV show in 2018.quote:
MRC and Sony Pictures, which is releasing the film, have committed not just to financing a pilot but a full run of between 10 and 13 episodes, depending on how the scripts and story arcs develop. The Dark Tower show will begin shooting in 2017 with plans to premiere it in 2018, ideally around the time the film becomes available on cable or streaming services.

I just finished up reading The Gunslinger and enjoyed it. So I'm going to try and read the series before the movie comes out. Should I read The Wind Through the Keyhole at the end, or between Wizard & Glass and Wolves of Calla?

With exception of Shawshank, I don't think King has ever had a good ending. I might be forgetting something.

I think some people think IT ended badly partly because it's tied to Dark Tower and readers who have not read DT get this seemingly fantastical out of nowhere ending that doesn't seem to fit with the novel.

Was that connections always intended, though? It published in 1986. At that point, only the first Dark Tower book was out. I'm not sure it was until later that King decided to start connecting many of his novels in little ways. (It also has some significant references in 11/22/63)

. If you haven't read Insomnia, Hearts in Atlantis, Talisman/Black House, and Eyes of the Dragon, put down The Dark Tower and read those instead.
I'm a rabid fan, but I readily admit that Song of Susannah is not great. My love is mostly because of books 2-5, and I actually like 1 and 7 too.91_Aggie said:
Ugh... I'm trudging my through this mess of a series in Song of Susannah.
I just can't imagine how they would make a movie of this convoluted, making it up as he goes, no idea what he wants the end to be, series.
But I've gone this far, so I'm gonna finish even though everyone has said the ending is not satisfying. At this point, just being able to have it completed will be satisfying.
Again, I ask, are there people that are like CRAZY NUTS over this series? I can see maybe someone enjoying it.... but are there rabid fans who think it is a masterpiece?
