How Best to Adapt the Dark Tower Series

FUCKING CHILLLLSSSSS.

SUPER MANY SPOILERS AHEAD.

Do not open if you haven’t read the books or if you have any desire at all to be surprised when you watch (because, trust me, there are lots of surprises that you don’t want to know ahead of time without finding them on your own.)

This would be an INSANE adaptation. It captures everything really well without the added extra crap that a seven-book series is likely to have. FUCKING CHILLS BY THE END. If this doesn’t happen, I’m going to find a way to do it myself because GODDAMMIT it’s worth it. And to be honest, I really think it would be better served as a TV series. There’s a lot to pack in, even of just the really important stuff. I’d like to see HBO pick this shit up on the quick, please.

A flowchart of Stephen King’s universe.

Oh my god THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING.

Except that it excludes Dark Tower, which actually can be integrated into this if one tried. And I saw a typo. BUT I DON’T EVEN CARE.

Also, LOL at there always being a psychotic town selectman.

This is one of the only times I have ever considered getting a tattoo that I have seen online.

tattoolit:

“Ka is a wheel; its one purpose is to turn. The spin of ka always brings us back to the same place, to face and reface our mistakes and defeats until we can learn from them. When we learn from the past, the wheel continues to move forward, towards growth and evolution. When we don’t, the wheel spins backward, and we are given another chance. If once more we squander the opportunity, the wheel continues its rotation towards devolution, or destruction.”

Ka is an image from The Dark Tower series by Stephen King; I cannot put into words how much I appreciate these books. They were the first books to actually change my life.

The quote is from Dark Tower: A Complete Concordance by Robin Furth.
