10 Movie Adaptations That Should Have Been TV Shows
6. The Dark Tower Series
The Dark Tower series by Stephen King is far from conventional. Whilst most fantasy books are heavily influenced by medieval Europe, King’s series is an odd mixture of sci-fi and the Old West.
With such an unusual setting, the 2017 adaptation should have prioritised making King’s world authentic and believable. Sadly, the film failed to do this. Indeed, each scene felt oddly disconnected, which in turn made King’s world lack any form of cohesion.
Had The Dark Tower been a television show, there would have been ample time to build up King’s world in a way that matched the source material.
Hopefully Amazon’s series (which is currently being filmed) will be able to give fans of The Dark Tower the adaptation they’ve been hoping for.
