I KNOW! They were great casting for the characters, but they weren’t at all given the characters to portray. Idris Elba was my ideal pick to portray Roland long before the movie was announces, so I was excited until I saw the trailer, they did him so wrong. They did it all so wrong. I know King has a standard of shitty movie adaptations, but that wasn’t even the same fucking story or characters.
Of all the failings of that movie. Idris Elba as Roland Deschain was not one of them. Neither was McConaughey as Randall Flagg.

Yeah but then again, you have Shawshank Redemption and The Shining… Two of the best films of all time.
