The Dark Tower Trailer Breakdown: 25 Things You Need To See

With just three months until release, it's about time Columbia Pictures released the first official trailer for the long-awaited Stephen King adaptation The Dark Tower.

Having been in the works for many, many years, endured countless delays and even an unfortunate leak of an unfinished trailer late last year, the Idris Elba-starring sci-fi actioner is finally almost here, but how does it look?

It goes without saying that fans of King's epic source material are likely to be divided on the blatant divergences it makes, but more open-minded fans may appreciate that a spiritual adaptation is the smartest way to go, especially considering some of the books' more out-there affectations.

If nothing else, it's got two great actors going at it in a terrifically-realised world, so it probably won't be bad. Probably.
