Apparently this is old news (the date on the article reads Feb 2007), but apparently Stephen King has sold the rights to make The Dark Tower into a movie. The guys to do it? JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof, the fine folks who created Lost.
It's sure to make a couple of folks excited, but me? Meh. Maybe I'll get excited if/when it ever starts filming, but Book 7 left me feeling a bit cold. I'm also a bit worried as to how this will translate to film--a trilogy, perhaps? I doubt people will stick around for seven books; it doesn't have quite the universal appeal as that other seven book wonder. We'll see.
