Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' Officially Casts Idris Elba & Matthew McConaughey
After redefining the concept of "development hell," Stephen King's genre-spanning The Dark Tower actually, genuinely has its stars in Idris Elba, who'll play Roland Deschain, the last Gunslinger, and Matthew McConaughey as the face- and name-shifting Man in Black. The news came via King's Twitter on Tuesday morning. He also did a long interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying:
“The thing is, it’s been a looong trip from the books to the film. When you think about it, I started these stories as a senior in college, sitting in a little shitty cabin beside the river in Maine, and finally this thing is actually in pre-production now. I’m delighted, and I’m a little bit surprised.”
