...I think once F*x cancels "Drive" after a few episodes, Nathan will be much too busy shooting new episodes of Firefly for HBO!

I despised the last book with a passion..
I truly believe that King ruined this series after book 5...But the final end for roland wasn't so much a surprise as a letdown.I never thought he's live happily ever after, but that ?

I am very crushed by this ,as these charachters are as dear to me as our BDH's are !

NO SPOILERS PLEASE

It's been 6-7 years since I read the Glass Tower or something, haven't read on since then. Or was it Wolf's Moon? It was Roland's back story.

YEah I agree after the 5th book the series started to go down for me a bit. I have been on the last book for a while now as apposed to the other books it didnt take me too long to finish them.

When I told my dad (who got me started on the books as well as everything else King) that I knew the ending and my dislike for it he said "Imagine how I felt" since he started reading the first book when it originally came out. I cannot image wanting to read the ending for sooo long and then to get that.

Which is what happened to me..I even waited the long painful 7 years between books 3 & 4...it was agony ,as book 3 left off with the whole Blaine cliffhanger !

See I knew I wasn't the only one who was left disappointed by the ending !

And I'm in such good company !

As much as I dig Nathan as an actor, I have trouble picturing him as Roland.

So who should play him? I've, over the years, thought of several people who I think could do it. Most recently, while I was watching 'The Prestige' it occured to me how great Hugh Jackman would be in the role.

Other ideas - Viggo Mortenson, of course. And how about if they did the movie in all CGI, like 'The Polar Express,' or Gollum in 'LotR,' my main man Clint Eastwood. He is the basis for Roland, after all.

Those are all of the ones I can think of at the moment. I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting. Oh well.

I think Nathan may have the chops, but I think he's still too young. My thoughts lean towards Viggo Mortensen. He's got the rugged, though I'm not sure he has the depth to play Roland convincingly.

I totally agree that Eastwood would have been the perfect Gunslinger, but now that he is older I think he would be great at playing Cort.

What about Alan as Eddie Dean? Eddie always had a snarky comment or two, but had some very serious parts as well.

This is just another sign of your tragic space dementia, all paranoid and crotchety...breaks the heart.
