Ron Howard Dark Tower TV/Movie Project Nixed

Spokespersons related to the Dark Tower movie "three-quel" and TV series to be helmed by Ron Howard say the project has been scrapped due to too tight a deadline. Apparently, the studios had set a July 15th deadline for committal, but said they "could not make the financials work." There was no further word on whether or not Howard or the studios will continue pursuing the project.

This is the second time a Dark Tower film adaptation has been scrapped. JJ Abrams tried to shepherd the project to the screen previously. Stephen King's genre-spanning gunslinger epic has found success in graphic format through a series of mini-series from Marvel Comics, however.
