Earlier today Hawksblueyes posted a portion of a Howard Stern interview with Dark Tower director Ron Howard, which can be read HERE. Now, we have a bit more from that interview, which was transcribed by /Film. In it, Howard talks about the casting rumors that have surfaced regarding the lead role of Roland Deschain. As you probably know, Javier Bardem and Viggo Mortensen have been rumored to be testing for the coveted role. Here's what Ron Howard had to say about those speculations:
“They are both artists, and so are some of the other people we’re thinking of. But this is the situation. They have to see, in this case, that we’re using both mediums to really tell a story and [commit for years]."
The time commitment is going to be the biggest catch for whatever actor(s) sign on for the project, as Howard plans on doing both a film series as well |
