The American author Stephen King, Weed Road and Imagines Entertainment are in discussions to develop a trilogy on the big screen then a television series inspired by the series of novels The Dark Tower.
Ron Howard (who worked on Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code and Frost/Nixon) would carry out the motion pictures, Akiva Goldsman (who also worked on Angels and Demons but also on I Am Legend) would write the scenario for the trilogy and Brian Grazer would produce the project in partnership with Akiva Goldsman and Stephen King. As for the television series, it will be produced by Imagine Television, the television production branch of Imagines Entertainment.
At the same time, Universal is in discussions to acquire the rights on the seven novels but also the participation of the production crew behind the successes A Beautiful Mind and The Da Vinci Code. Universal, with which Imagine are bound, and Warner Bros., where the company Weed Road is based, compete one and the other to lodge the project.
Bad Robot, the company of J.J. Abrams, held before the rights on the series but the project to adapt The Dark Tower in a TV series never was completed. Bad Robot had to resell the rights to Stephen King.
Published between 1982 and 2004, the seven novels which constitute the series The Dark Tower tell the story of a man named Roland Deschain and his quest to find the Dark Tower, a structure which connects all the universes together. The story line mixes at the same time elements of western, science fiction and fantasy.
