The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

While very truncated, it is essentially a theme park with life like machines for people to live out their fantasies (in this case being in a western) but things go wrong, to put it mildly. The Gunslinger in particular is problematic. In the original film he was played by Yul Brynner.

Thanks. I'd be more interested in them doing Dark Tower for that Western/Sci-fi feel, but this could be interesting.

Hopefully this'll come without the somewhat creepy post-mortem anti smoking ad

I'm pretty psyched about this. Anthony Hopkins is always amazing and suits the role perfectly, from what the trailer shows us. Ed Harris as the gunslinger? Also spot on.
