10 Things Hollywood Must Get Right With The Dark Tower Movie

4. Cast Zoe Saldana As Susannah Dean, Okay?

Another perfect casting decision that happens to be right under Hollywood's nose - it's Zoe Saldana as Susannah Dean, of course, because who else would be better than her? Saldana has - over the years - proven herself to be one of La La Land's best and most reliable actresses, and she has an inner strength - not to mention that she can play badass incredibly well - which means she'd make a wonderful Susannah. Dean, as Dark Tower fans know, is one of the series' most interesting characters; she's a bag of personalities all rolled into one with a truly crazy history, and you need a strong actress who can handle that. Zoe Saldana certainly could. The only problem with this casting decision is that Salanda is already involved with two major franchises (Guardians of the Galaxy and Star Trek), which could mean she might deem jumping into bed with a third a step too far on the work-load front. Still, here's hoping that the studio at least approach her - you never know, right?
