The Dark Tower trailer - even if everything else is compromised, if this is all about getting Roland right, I'm 100% down #DarkTowerMovie

THE DARK TOWER trailer is rough. Expectations basement level.

The Dark Tower trailer makes it look like another formulaic and cliché superhero movie. No real surprise there, though.

I hope they just made the Dark Tower look like a generic fantasy action flick in the trailer to appeal to normies, because boy is it bad.

Here's the movie synopsis from Sony:
"Jake Chambers (Tom Taylor) is a young 11-year-old adventure seeker who discovers clues about another dimension called Mid-World. Upon following the mystery, he is spirited away to Mid-World where he encounters the lone frontiersman knight Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), who is on a quest to reach the 'Dark Tower' that resides in End-World and reach the nexus point between time and space that he hopes will save Mid-World from extinction. But with various monsters and a vicious sorcerer named Walter Padick (Matthew McConaughey) hot on their trail, the unlikely duo find that their quest may be difficult to complete."
"The Dark Tower" arrives in theaters on August 4th after being moved the schedule several times. This is hoped to be the start of a multi-movie franchise with a companion TV spinoff. Fingers crossed that the final result pleases everyone.
