Can all the evil/bad guys be a Skarsgard now? Lol. I like the idea of them all looking alike/bring the same evil entity

[queenweasley]

I’m here for this!

M-O-O-N. That spells I'm not sure how I feel about this. Laws yes

I really need to read the stand.

Also someone pick up Dark Tower please. Idk how it's not been made in to a tv series yet.

Amazon is developing it with Ron Howard is the strong rumor I heard from a friend of Steve’s when I was in Bangor. And actual buddy of his not just claiming it.

My bestie lives not far from there only reason I was in Bangor. It’s weird how everyone treats the dude there. It’s gotta be weirdly uncomfortable now and then.

Ugh that prequel tv series didn't get canned??? He should just adapt the books.

[numbedtoe]

i honestly understood it that they wanted to adapt a book per season, with the possibility that a couple of the thicker books or final book anyway might be split up into two, or one and a half each.

but again, don't quote me on it, since i had no idea anyone was doing a prequel.

how the fuck do you do that? in a universe that bizarre and rich for story? i mean shit we saw that even lucas couldn't tell you the story before the story he really wanted to tell. my mind is a bit flummoxed trying to imagine a dark tower prequel. i'm not sure how much sense it would make to anyone who wasn't a die hard fan of the books. and their fan base it too narrow to cater to all the ooooh nerd moments the die hards would have. to make it accessible to everyone? hmmm. idk if i see that.

There’s a Skarsgård for every Stephen King villain, I suppose.

[josiefier]

[headcaseheidi]
