Stephen King’s Version of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ Can Be a TV Masterpiece – Let’s Pick Up the Pace

Stephen King is a hugely popular author with many iconic novels like It, Salem’s Lot, The Stand, and Pet Sematary. He’s also one of the most frequently adapted writers in history, with lots of his stories becoming well-loved movies and TV shows. However, his epic Dark Tower series, known for its complexity and creativity, hasn’t had a truly successful adaptation. The 2017 film starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey attempted it, but critics disliked it – it only received a 16% rating on Rotten Tomatoes – and it strayed so far from the source material that it hardly felt like The Dark Tower at all.
