So Idris Elba will be playing Roland Deschain. Not sure how I feel about that. I mean the guys a great actor, but I wanted someone who looked like the image I had in my mind, and Idris ain't it.

When I saw that he and Matthew McConaughey were going to be in the movie I initially assumed that McConaughey would be Roland, which I was quite happy with, but it turns out he will be plying the man in black.
