‘The Dark Tower’ Trailer Arrives Tomorrow; Check Out First Footage!
The wait is almost over. Hang in there, friends.
With the film headed our way in just three months, it’s both surprising and strange that we haven’t yet seen any footage from Nikolaj Arcel’s The Dark Tower. You’d think we’d have at least seen a couple trailers by now, but alas, we haven’t even seen a single one. So when the hell can we expect it? Columbia Pictures has revealed that The Dark Tower trailer is coming TOMORROW.
Meantime, check out new posters and two trailer teases below!

In the film, said to not be a direct adaptation of any of the books in the series from author Stephen King but rather a continuation and semi-amalgamation of what’s already out there:
The Gunslinger, Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), roams an Old West-like landscape where “the world has moved on” in pursuit of the man in black (Matthew McConaughey). He’s also searching for the fabled Dark Tower, in the hopes that reaching it will preserve his dying world.
Fran Kranz, Jackie Earle Haley, Abbey Lee, and Kathryn Winnick also star.
The Dark Tower, which was recently delayed to August 4th, 2017, was directed by Nikolaj Arcel and produced by Akiva Goldman, Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Erica Hughes.
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
