Quote:
Based on the Best-Selling Book Series by Stephen King
THE DARK TOWER
Starring Idris Elba and Academy Award® Winner Matthew McConaughey
Debuting on Digital October 17
On 4K Ultra HD™/Blu-ray™, Blu-ray & DVD October 31

Blu-ray Includes Deleted Scenes, Five Behind-the-Scenes Featurettes, and more!

CULVER CITY, Calif. (September 19, 2017) – Idris Elba (Prometheus) and Academy Award® winner Matthew McConaughey (Best Actor, Dallas Buyers Club, 2013) star in THE DARK TOWER, the epic adventure based on the Stephen King book series, debuting on digital October 17 and on 4K Ultra HD™/Blu-ray™, Blu-ray and DVD October 31 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Roland, the last Gunslinger (Idris Elba) has been locked in an eternal battle with the Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey), determined to prevent him from destroying the Dark Tower, which holds the universe together. With the fate of the worlds at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle. THE DARK TOWER also stars Tom Taylor making his feature film debut, Katheryn Winnick(“Vikings”), Claudia Kim (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Fran Kranz (The Cabin in the Woods), Abbey Lee (Mad Max: Fury Road) and Academy Award nominee Jackie Earle Haley (Best Supporting Actor, Little Children, 2006).

THE DARK TOWER Blu-ray is loaded with bonus material, including deleted scenes, a blooper reel and “A Look Through the Keyhole,” which features three vignettes narrated by Roland and The Man in Black. Also included are five behind-the-scenes featurettes that capture the imagination of fans. The filmmakers and Stephen King reveal the plot points that allowed the film to pay tribute to everything great about Stephen King’s novels while making it a whole new experience for fans in “Last Time Around.” Fans step inside the fully realized sets and locations that play host to the physical embodiment of Stephen King’s Mid-World in “The World Has Moved On …”. For “The Man in Black,” Matthew McConaughey takes the audience inside his perceptions and process for portraying the villain Walter, aka The Man in Black. Fans go behind the scenes and inside the stunt team’s process for creating the
action-packed battles in “The Gunslinger in Action”. Stephen King discusses the journey from his book series to screen in “Stephen King Inspirations.”

The studio is just saving face until society gets distracted by something else, then the project will quietly die. I'll eat both of my shoes if anything regarding this incarnation of THE DARK TOWER continues.

Got out of this a little bit ago and actually quite enjoyed it. Idris Elba is just fantastic. Not everyone else is up to snuff, and it's by no means a great movie, but it still entertained me. It's going to be one GORGEOUS 4k disk. It's a 4K DI for those that care, and it's a really beautiful looking movie. It's got some geniuenly great cinematography and imagery to look at. Atmos track should be great too. Wish we were getting an extended cut though.

In that case it will be a 4K UHD blind buy for me. I liked the trailer too.

Glad I'm not the only one who liked it.

I hate to admit it, but I started to get choked up when Jake finds
[Show spoiler]out his mom was killed.

I saw this today finally. Loved it! It indeed will look great in 4k. I do not understand the negative reviews. But then I'm not massively into the books, but as a film it worked very well. I could've done with it being longer but it was nice to see a concise movie for once. I hope there is an extended cut on 4k too.

[Show spoiler]Roland teaching Jake the gunslingers oath.

Yep! And Matthew was a ton of fun as the man in black. Just a great hammy yet intimidating villain.

It was the ugliest (and one of the worst, by the way) movie I've seen this year - basic cinematography, cheap production design, boring color grading. Can't imagine 4K and HDR helping here.

I'm leaning towards a blind buy as well; on paper this looks up my alley. I like the idea of that steelbook up above.

As a massive fan who was willing to give the film a chance after the critics trashed it, it turned out to be massively mediocre, such a waste. And yes, very poor looking film.

Sony is not one company, they pull against each other regularly.
