Stephen King’s The Dark Tower Trailer
After several delays and some post-production problems, at long last the first official trailer for The Dark Tower has finally arrived. Directed by Nikolaj Arcel (A Royal Affair), this is the first installment in Stephen King’s epic eight book series about a mysterious gunslinger (played by Idris Elba) who is tasked with protecting a dying world from The Man In Black (Matthew McConaughey). The new trailer certainly looks like an improvement on the one that leaked online last year, but overall it still seems like an odd mash-up of genres that may be a tough sell for mainstream audiences. The Dark Tower hits theatres on Aug. 4th; check out the trailer after the jump and let us know what you think.
