A teaser by the nineteenth of October does not sound farfetched.

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing .

Unfortunately, it's been communicated by the studio that the first footage will be released after that (October 29th)  And maybe not even to the public. Makes me wonder if we'll finally get a poster on the 19th!

Man, after October 29th? Is it just me or are they really holding back till the last minute? Seems like we'd normally have even a teaser by now with the release date in February. I'm chomping at the bit to get an idea of how Elba is going to play Roland. Still not sure about him... but still excited for this!

Speaking of the release date, does February as the release date seem weird to anyone else? I thought I heard it said before that that time of year is reserved for films studios don't have much faith in. Maybe I'm pulling that out of my ass tho.

You know, Storm, I am right there with you. I'm wondering why the heck they haven't given us something... like, anything! I mean, we got studios like Disney busting out little teasers a year in advance. I don't think we're asking for too much, lol!

So, originally it was slated for a January 17 release. Apparently, while February isn't necessarily an indication of great belief by a studio, January is supposedly the dumping ground for movies with little studio faith/backing. So the fact that they moved it to February makes me think they at least got around to having more faith in it once filming got underway. Also, in later years more movies have done well in February (like Deadpool) so it's a schism that's changing I think.

I thought a teaser would have been out by now, or rather like months ago.

Guess this movie Is not in the league of Star Wars, man of Steel etc since those movies teaser trailer showed bout a year before release...

Bur here, its little less than five months left and still ni teaser?,

reply

Indeed. Makes you wonder if it' telling of how the studio feels about it? Unsure, maybe? You have to do some marketing in advance. You can't rely souly on the word of mouth from fans. Is 4 months (if a teaser comes ou near end of Oct) enough time to promote a film? Hmmm...

reply

I wonder the same, Dark Tower has a big fanbase so i guess the promoting for them is no problem, we sit out here exciting for the outcome.

But for the ones who never heard of Sk's Dark Tower??

reply

Keep in mind that this only wrapped filming in late August... The production was fast tracked and we only heard a snippet of the score on the 19th of this month which means that their is still quite a bit of work to be done yet! The thing I find promising is that they have already greenlit the TV show which tells me that whoever made that decision liked what they must have seen so far... But yeah, we better get a trailer soon, this is nuts!

reply

When was a snippet of the score shared? Did it leak or was it intentional? How'd it sound?

reply

Its on Junkie XL's twitter! He posted it on the 19th

reply

It's specuation... But I think it's a safe bet! I loved it!

Here you go! :)
