It’s a big book series and an equally big adaptation. Stephen King’s Dark Tower is planned as three movies, with two TV series between the films. The first of each will be directed by Ron Howard. According to Deadline, Javier Bardem (Eat Pray Love) is close to signing on as the lead and production will begin in September. No news on whether the release date of 5/17/13 is still firm.

King recently announced on his Web site that another installment in the series, The Wind Through the Keyhole, will be released in 2012.
