I should probably mention that the headline is a reference to Aaron Paul’s character Jesse Pinkman from the TV show “Breaking Bad”, just so I don’t offend anyone who hasn’t seen it. I love you guys and would never hurt you! Promise!
ANYWAYS! The rumor mill is swirling that Paul has been cast in The Dark Tower, the film adaptation of Stephen King’s sprawling horror/fantasy epic. However, while everyone seems to be convinced that Paul will be playing Eddie Dean, the star himself isn’t so certain.
Paul tweeted earlier tonight the following message:
Dear @StephenKing,
How goes it my friend? So, about these Dark Tower rumors. What are your thoughts? Could you put in a good word for me?

So while people are scrambling to see if this is or is not happening, the star himself has made it rather clear that he knows nothing about it but that he’d absolutely love for it to happen!
Paul blew me away with his performance in “Breaking Bad”, so seeing him in any role is totally fine by me. What about you all? You into this casting idea or is there someone you think is more fitting of the role?
