They set it up so Jake is the main character rather than Roland

The only connector between The Shining and The Dark Tower is that you could say that The Shine is almost certainly related to the psychically talented young people that The Crimson King is using to break the beams. That's really it though, there's no reason to have some official Shining tie-in or anything like that.

Salem's Lot is the only one with a direct connection(of the novels that have been adapted to films), and even then the events of that book all take place before the character in question enters the world of The Dark Tower. Plus, very few people give a poo poo about Salem's Lot.

They go to the world where The Stand takes place. The Man in Black is Randall Flagg

Second trailer dropped on July 10

They really need to show Matthew McConaughey doing something actually evil rather than just walk and talk pure smugness. The trailers just kind of assume we all know that he's bad because he tells us he is.

possible spoiler for book readers:

if this isn't his first round to go to the tower he probably knows to bring more ammo this time

That's pretty short for an "epic" movie

this, Gerald's Game, and IT are all in theaters this year and I'm willing to bet that the worst book, Gerald's Game, turns out to be the best film

Sony if you want to really make money with Stephen King properties do one of the Bachman Books, preferably Running Man or The Long Walk
