Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman are being lined up for a role in ‘The Dark Tower’.
Director Ron Howard has confirmed the two are in “talks” for parts in
the Stephen King novel-adaptation, despite the fact the project has not
yet been green-lit by a studio.
He told the Los Angeles Times: “We’ve been meeting and talking and I’ve
been researching and just kind of living with it. I really can’t stop
thinking about it.
“I’ve been constantly going through stuff and I’ve just been
re-listening to it on audio books on my iPod and we’ve been sending
e-mails back and forth, ‘What about this approach? What do you think of
this idea?’ We’re finding the shape of it. We’re moving quickly now, as
quickly as we can, and I feel challenged in the most exciting ways.”
“On ‘The Dark Tower’ fansites they’re all about Viggo Mortensen.”
A series of ‘The Dark Tower’ projects are currently in the works – the
first film is expected in 2013, followed by a television series, a
second movie, more TV and then a final film.
