Javier Bardem to star in movie and TV adaptations of ‘Dark Tower’
April 26th, 2011 - 7:31 pm ICT by ANINew York, April 26 (ANI): Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem has been signed to star in the movie and TV adaptations of Stephen King’s “Dark Tower” book series.
Bardem will play Roland Deschain in the eagerly awaited Ron Howard and Brian Grazer adaptation of King’s beloved seven-novel saga.
It’s a momentous deal because each of the three movies in the series is to be followed by a TV miniseries.
“Bardem has signed on to the first movie and the miniseries, but the intention is that he will star in all three movies and each of the TV series. It’s an enormous deal for any actor, but Bardem was always the first choice,” the New York Post quoted a well-placed source as saying.
The first movie is due for production in September with Howard directing. (ANI)
