I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Adam Baldwin for this yet... he's rugged isn't he?
Oh I know that ritual! Then the ancient shamans did the hokey-pokey and turned themselves around.

Forge- great idea -eastwood as Cort would be perfect !
Mortensen was alright as Aragorn, but I couldn't see him as Roland.But I'm not that big of a fan of his ..
I have thought that Hugh Jackman might be a good choice..
But I still stand by a somewhat Younger Clint Eastwood as my wish,but since there's no going back in time ( at least for us 
) I'd still say Nathan would be an excellent choice !

I read the last couple of books in the series after seeing Firefly, and I very much thought of Roland as Nathan. More to the point, Gina Torres would be the ultimate Susannah and Jewel Staite an excellent Susan Delgado (remember, she only appears in flashbacks). Unfortunately, I don't think Alan Tudyk is quite right for Eddie, and I have no idea who'd play Jake.

I'm surprised you guys didn't like the ending. Sure it wasn't happy but if you remember Roland was repeatedly warned about seeking out the Dark Tower and that he would not be happy about what was waiting for him therein.

It goes without saying that this is King's version of Sysiphus, condemned to repeat the same act again and again.

I'm kind of surprised too. I mean, of course I wanted Roland to open the door at the top of the Tower and have Susan and the rest of his fallen friends there, waiting to greet him, but the given ending is much more appropriate.
Besides, given enough chances, Roland might eventually get that happy ending.
This way, King has covered all his bases, without probably even realizing it.
