Ron Howard to Direct Stephen King's Dark Tower Movies

As know, Gfest is a huge fan of Stephen King's Dark Tower series.  We have read all seven novels (and related books) as well as every issues of the Marvel comic books spin-offs, so it was very exciting when we read various reports from THR, Deadline and IGN that Director Ron Howard, screenwriter Akiva Goldsman and producer Brian Grazer -- the Oscar-winning trio behind A Beautiful Mind, The Da Vinci Code, and Angels & Demons -- are in talks to adapt The Dark Tower,  into a film trilogy.

Gfest readers if you are not giddy with excitement about this news then you have forgotten the face of your father.  Let's just hope Tom Hanks with a bad haircut does not play Roland Deschain in the movies.
