Come on who doesn't love Idris Elba, he has that unusual 

charm, where you just have to like the guy, for me you can 

stick the Elba in anything. 

And it looks as if Elba maybe heading over to the Dark 

Tower. 

Deadline reports that Idris Elba is the frontrunner for the lead

gunslinger Roland Deschain, in the film adaptation of the 

Dark Tower Novel series written by Stephen King. 

The Deadline article states that no deal is done, and no one 

involved in the project where willing to comment on the matter.  

Matthew McConaughey is currently in talks to play 

The Man In Black, one of the series villains. 

It looks as if the Dark Tower is starting to pick up Speed 

now, and the cast is looking good, so this is one that is out 

on my radar. We will keep you informed with any updates.
