I thought I saw the gunslinger from Dark Tower on top of that train.

Our freedom Bors...

What needs to be done is that they make the damn movie.

I would say he looks more like the Walking Dude in this film, the gunslinger's nemesis.

I agree with the last statement. I don't think Karl Urban is Roland Deschain but he would make a great 'Man in black'.

Got any idea where we are?
Yes. You are right behind me, and I am right in front of you.

Yes, that's a good idea. Randall Flagg, my absolute favorite villain of all time.

My casting choice for Roland is Solomon Kane. Well, I mean, James Purefoy as Solomon Kane... ;)

"Most of his hair is gray or white, but some remains black. His facial features are described as rough"... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Deschain
It has been years since I have read the series, but I believe Karl Urban is WAY too Good Looking for playing Roland. Too bad Tommy Lee Jones isn't younger!
