Bit late commenting, but to the guy below if Johnny Depp or his bum buddy Tim Burton came anywhere near the dark tower I would personally maim them. The crimson king can peel them off the walls when im done with them, for all i care :)

I think Ryan Reynolds and Sean williams scott would be would be good as eddie or cuthbert both have experience with action and comedy. As For Roland Vigo Mortensen i think just might be too soft of an actor. Roland does fight for the white but he does have some evil in him. Hugh Jackman i could see but he too is missing something to be roland. Clint eastwood i think might be a bit too old for steven but maybe see him as an Eldred Jonas…not sure about anyone else

This may very well be blasphemy, but with the expectations as high as they are, there is no way any actor or actors could meet them and if they could look at the suggestions on the site and try and imagine the salaries behind them. Now we know this is not likely to happen anytime soon, probably another 5 years before filming would begin. So just throwing this out there, with the advances in CGI…..???
For a movie or set of movies to come close to capturing this world perhaps something totally new is needed, and by totally new, I mean a complete CGI movie that really works, Bewoulf tried, I didn’t see it, but I saw the look and it would need to be better for me, but who knows, in five years or more, how much better will CGI be?

we already have a randall flag from The Stand (Jamey Sheridan) using anyone else would just seem treacherous to the series

My wife and I loved the Gunslinger / Dark Tower so much that we said that if we ever got another puppy (we have an 8 year old Dane) that we would name her Oy. Well 5 months ago we got are great dane puppy and named her Oy. We get alot of strange looks from people when we tell them her name others love it. I told my wife wait till they make the Dark Tower into a movie then see how many dogs will be named Oy

i’m liking the idea of masden as flagg i reckon he could pull it off. As for Roland it is so difficult to cast any of the main players and that is why i think it will have to be unknowns. I think maybe russel crowe could do it but no one is ever going to match up to Eastwood for the part. If only he was younger!! As for Eddie these may seem like wierd choices but think about it before you dismiss them James Macavoy, Ewan mcgreggor or Ryan Reynolds, Susannah is difficult to pick as unfortunatley there is not that many well known coloured actresses. Maybe Thandie newton. And Jake? It’s difficult to match somebody that can play preppy schoolboy and gun toting badass. Hayley Joel Osmond could do it but he’s prob about 30 by now, can’t think of any maybe darren from eastenders he’s supprisingly talented. IF THIS FILM HAPPENS IT HAS TO BE AT LEAST 3 FILMS LONG AND HAS TO STAY TRUE TO FORM (INCLUDING ENDING) OR WE WILL ALL GO MENTAL. PLEASE DON’T DO A DREAMCATCHER ON US.

unless im wrong arnt we going to need at least three ppl to play roland? given the age ranges that take place during the flash backs, forwards (and what sometimes seems like sideways). as far as flagg goes i agree with joe, jamey Sheriden did an amazing job in the stand and i have a hard time imagining anyone else as flagg, except maybe Michael Madsen.

I think Jeff Fahey would be the perfect Roland! I hope they at least consider him!

hear me,I beg.if they do make the film version of the dark tower it has to be 3 or more films,if not all 7. out of the actors to play roland.hugh jackman could pull it off.as for eddie,I think jonathan tucker(hostage,sleepers,) is best.or maybe casey affleck.to play susanahh I think jada pinket smith would be good.for jake,jason Earles(of the hannah montana show)is perfect.and as randall flagg I would definetly go with jamey Sheriden(the guy that played flagg in the stand)as for pere don callahan christopher Lloyd is the obvious choise.say thank ya,big big.long days and pleasant nights.

Roland: Vigo or Clive or Thomas Jane (hopefully an unknown though)
Walter O’Dim: I could see Hugh Jackman. Other than that I have no idea.
Eddy: Casey Affleck
Susannah: Sanaa Lathan
Jake: Rory Culkin
