It has come to the attention of the Dark Tower Ka-Tet that Sony is butchering The Dark Tower movie. Instead of Roland in the lead role, a monstrosity is being hatched in Hollywood that puts Jake as the main character in the series. In fact, the movie opens with Jake telling his psychiatrist exactly what The Dark Tower Is. All of the mystery surrounding the Dark Tower is literally told to the audience in the first 5 minutes. Instead of making the movie from Book 1 of the series, they appear to be turning The Dark Tower into a Harry Potter movie.

Stephen King himself confirms that the movie does not start with the iconic "The Man In Black fled across the desert and The Gunslinger followed" but instead starts in the middle of the story. Those who have read the script say that the movie even starts from Jack (formerly Jake)'s point of view some time after his first death.

Please Sony, get this right. It's not too late to retool the script. The story is already something new and interesting for the movie audience (just like Deadpool was for Sony) and it will be successful if you don't try to turn it into Harry Potter.
