The Dark Tower adaptation postponed indefinitely
Problems with the adaptation of Stephen King's monumental work The Dark Tower turned out to be much more serious than previously thought. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the shooting of the first full-length part, scheduled for fall 2011, will not take place. Accordingly, the previously announced premiere of the movie, which was supposed to take place in May 2012, is also under threat. The reason is quite banal. Universal was not satisfied with the project's budget, and its `` helmsmen '' Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman have been instructed to change the script in such a way as to significantly reduce production costs. Such a hitch could have the most serious consequences, especially for casting. Unknown Will the lead actor Javier Bardem have the patience or will he prefer other, more stable projects. Earlier, a similar confrontation over the budget led to the closure of another large-scale project of Universal Pictures - the movie adaptation of Ridges of Madness; Howard Lovecraft.
