Please no Viggo (50% meant, but a strong 50%).
I was thinking this last night, Viggo is just too nice. He hasn't the dark scary or intimidating presence that Roland has.
you still haven't even finished reading the books, have you?
3/4s through the last one. Near the end. Don't blow it for me. But by now I do know what Roland looks like.
well, you obviously haven't gotten to the big twist then yet. roland is a female midget wrestler
I was bout to write that I HATE it when you put black bars up that I can't read and do my head in, but then when I quoted this page I saw what you wrote.
Well if that is the case then this is who I want to play that wrestler part -
- and I wanna Extra role being Roland's opponent!

Now it seems like it's actually going to happen though, I kinda think casting someone relatively unknown is the way to go. Roland should just be Roland and not hampered by all the baggage a recognised persona will bring to the role.
Which is why Ron Howard is such a gentleman for this. He's thinking the way that idiots on the net think - "Durlhm, I know nothing about movies so all I can think of is the first person that comes to mind who is in the arena of Roland's looks even though it's not close enough to him, but it's the best an unknowledgeable person like me can come up with so I guess 10th best choice for Roland will have to do."
I can't believe Howard is thinking so unimaginatively with no articulate, encyclopediatic film expert knowledge of what other actors out there EXIST in the world! There's THOUSANDS!! Pick from them, not just 5 or so. You fucking idiot.
