Over the past few years, the number of books which have been adapted
for the big screen has gone up leaps and bounds. But there are some
books which have been, surprisingly, ignored. One of the best series
that has great potential for the book-to-movie transformation is ‘The
Dark Tower’ series by Stephen King. The series consists of seven books
which narrate the journey of the ‘gunslinger’ Roland Deschain to
the Dark Tower. The Dark Tower is supposed to be the nexus of all
existing universes. It is imperative for him to do so, as soon as
possible, because Rolands’ world, which is one of many, is coming
apart at the seams and time is running out.
Stephen King’s magnum opus is a blend of science fiction, western, horror and fantasy. He published his first book in the series back in 1982, with the seventh and last part being published in 2004. The series has garnered huge interest all over the world and has helped catapulted King into one of the leading writers in the horror category. In the mid of 2009, Stephen King announced that he would be revisiting the series by writing an eighth book, ‘The Wind through the Key-hole.’ He explained that it was a sort of stand-alone book in the series but if he had to place it somewhere, then the book could be an explanation of events between the third and fourth of the series. The book came out in 2012 and received huge praise from all sections of the literary industry. By then, all of the books were available as e-books. The final part was simultaneously released as a hardback and an e-book.
The Dark Tower is a series of books which illustrates visual imagery to the maximum and as a result, would look great on the big screen. Intricate details are lined out in the 4.250 words that make up the eight books, each lending their own contribution to making this a compelling and hugely validated chance for the big screen.
But for this, we can only hope and wait for it to be made into a movie or a series of movies, rather. Till then, we can satisfy our hunger for the out-of-the-ordinary, by reading the entire series, which has re-defined fantasy writing for an entire generation, by reading all of it. All of the e-books can be bought for next to nothing on the Book Chums website. You can visit the following link to get your hands on the first part.
With the great leaps that technology has made in the last decade or so, it was only a matter of time before books would soon go the way of being obsolete and something new would take its place. Although a passionate reader would try and hold on to the notion that there is no better feeling than holding a book in one’s own hands and reading it, there is no denying the fact that books have become a cumbersome thing to carry around especially in today’s world. To counter this, books are now being converted into digitalized versions of the lengthy tomes that we used to weigh around. These electronic books or e-books, as they are better known, can be stored in an electronic device like a laptop, desktop or a smart-phone or tablet.
