One of my favorite current actors nowadays is Idris Elba. I find myself dream-casting nerd movies all the time and he is always at the top of my list. Yes, even for Bruce the shark in the eventual JAWS reboot.
During a recent interview with Screen Crush regarding his new film MOLLY'S GAME with Jessica Chastain, Elba was hit with a question regarding the current state of THE DARK TOWER TV series.
Turns out, like everyone else on the planet, Elba has no idea what's going on with the potential series.
Idris Elba on THE DARK TOWER TV series:
I don’t know, actually, where it lies. I must figure this out, I don’t know where it lies. I’m unfortunately the last to know at this point.
Hopefully, we'll have some news soon as I think the book series would make a killer TV series. Especially on a network like HBO. And especially if they kept Elba as The Gunslinger.
