| ~Behold my sparklies!~ | Hugh Jackman as Roland? Hi All How are you ALL doing? I was discussing this with a good friend of mines, if the powers that be ever made a movie based on The Dark Tower series, do you think Hugh Jackman would be excellent for the role? Before I continue I know I am biased (I love him to bits) but seriously, think about it... |

| Re: Hugh Jackman as Roland? A movie on the Dark Tower series...let's start with the first book where the Gunslinger massacres an entire town including its women and children...Ya, I can just about see that happening in a movie...NOT |

| Re: Hugh Jackman as Roland? Not Jackman in my book because The Gunslinger as I see him is a weathered man in his middle-years (40's or so). A lean Russell Crowe perhaps, or a Daniel Day Lewis...actually I'd consider DDL for just about any good role |

| Re: Hugh Jackman as Roland? definatley NOT johnny depp, my god he is not that good. the character was based around clint eastwood, king said that. i dont know who could play roland maybe jackman but he strikes me as more the eddie dean character. so im not sure. |

| Re: Hugh Jackman as Roland? As much as I like Jackman I'd not not put him up at the top of the list. When I first read the books I'll admit it was Eastwood that came to mind but he'd need to be a lot younger. Johnny Depp might wing it since he seems to be able to morph into almost anything but then again he's also too young, the same problem I have with Jackman, although Jackman does look more 'weathered' than Depp. Daniel Day Lewis would definitely be able to do it. He's another one of those actors who seems to be able to morph to fit any role. However, he seems to have dropped out of acting pretty much and I don't know about the chances of getting him to do this. I'll admit a definite bias in this direction. |
