Deadline is reporting that Idris Elba is being considered to play the gunslinger Roland Deschain in the long rumored adaption of Stephen King’s Dark Tower. Jesus, is there anything Elba is not being considered for? He is currently being considered to take over for Daniel Craig as 007, and in the past he was rumored for roles in Jurassic World, Luke Cage, Star Trek, Jaws 19, and a Denny’s Corporate training video.
A Dark Tower adaption has had a long history of start and stops, and various mediums, including feature film rumors, mini series, HBO series, Jewish Community Theater production, and a Denny’s Corporate training video adaption.
