Could be great, probably will be mediocre at best. Since TV series tend to try to assume no prior knowledge of the source material I can see them toning down the parts that made it a Dark Tower book and we'd get a standard western love story. I guess it would depend on who they got to play young Roland and Susan. Is that lady who played the witch in the Robin Hood movie with Kevin Costner still around? She'd make the perfect Rhea.

Well it's supposed to come out after the movie and actually have the bookend stuff with Idris Elba so it would be a safe assumption that the people watching it would have seen the movie.

My problem with Under the Dome is that everything takes place in about a week and too much of the tension is ramped up artificially because of a couple of rear end in a top hat characters who are just caricatures.

Basically it looks to me like they're taking Jake's bit from The Wastelands and moving it to the start.

Isn't it a thing at the end when they realize that's why he killed himself?

There's a really neat 1984 radio-style adaptation of The Mist (starring William Sadler!) that you should definitely check out.

When I was a kid I listened to that version before ever reading anything by him.
