The Dark Tower Leaked Trailer: 10 Things We Learned

10. A Lot Of The Movie Takes Place In "Our World"

Around half of the Dark Tower trailer takes place on a planet at least resembling our world, specifically New York City in the modern day (or close enough).

Considering that much of the appeal of this movie will be getting to see Mid-World realised before our very eyes, it's a little disconcerting that so much of the movie seems to be set in a far more familiar locale.

Of course, the balance could be tipped in favour of Mid-World in the actual film itself, but given how many distinct scenes are shown off in New York (featuring the three main characters Jake, Roland and The Man in Black), it really seems like this probably won't be the case.

This isn't to say it will sink the film on its own, but simply to exercise caution with regard to your own expectations about how it will handle world-building.
