Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' Series to Be Adapted for Television

9/9/2010

Filed under: TV News

Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' series will be coming to television and film in the very near future.

Back in 2007, the late Adam Finley asked TV Squad readers if Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' series could become a miniseries. In his article he said it could be done just as long as whoever adapted the story for television didn't screw it up. Well, Adam, your wish may have come true.

According to Deadline Hollywood, Universal Pictures and NBC Universal Television closed a deal earlier this week to transform King's multi-book series into both a movie and television franchise. Under Universal's plan the movie would be released first, followed closely by the first TV season, and then the second movie in the trilogy.
