Ive got to agree clint eastwood was my vision of roland. I see roland as rather old and withered, he's not in the greatest of shape anyway. He definitely needs the look of a very strongminded person who also looks like hes in a completely different world. He also needs to be seen as secretly powerful, a strong figure, well respected. Eastwood would have fitted that perfectly even a decade ago. Eastwood is a bad choice as a seven part movie (perfectly plausible when considering Harry Potter) would take about seven years and is getting someone too old in a bit risky and losing Clint as the main role would be devastating. There isnt many around presently who could do what Eastwood can. If there ever is a dark tower movie which is looking rather suspicious especially with the latest editions book cover designs (looking very film friendly, like that of LOTR) dont be surprised to see Tim Burton as director with King besides. Burton was found by King 20 years ago and they have yet to codirect anything yet. If Tim Burton becomes director expect to see Johnny Depp in there somewhere...possibly Eddie (if he learnt to become less extravagant). Will be difficult to find a Susannah too. If the movie ever does arise it would have to be high budget (but with a huge fan base???) and expect a lot of computer imagery, the imagery that King sees.
