Well, it's taken almost 30 years, but be prepared for Dark Tower...everything. The new trilogy, set to be directed by Ron Howard, looks to be getting the full monty, including a possible game or series of games. In an interview with Deadline, Ron Howard states that certain elements "would make fantastic narrative gaming opportunities" and that his camp has "got gaming designers and there is enthusiasm for that."
As with all things, this has to be taken with a grain of salt. A certain number of speculations has to be expected when talking about the adaptation of a series with such a huge following. However, gamers are already salivating at the prospect of a Dark Tower game and if Hollywood knows what's good for them, they'll see the dollar signs. Unfortunately, the price of such realization often comes at the cost of integrity. Yes, most games made from movies belong in a desert landfill.
The gaming industry has already eclipsed Hollywood to become the 800-pound gorilla, with a whopping $65 billion in sales for 2010.
