‘The Dark Tower’ TV Spots Pit Good vs. Evil
In a world full of Superheroes, there’s only one Gunslinger. And yet, Death always wins.
A pair of new The Dark Tower television spots have begun to air, one which focuses on the film’s protagonist, Gunslinger Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), who roams an Old West-like landscape in search of the dark tower, in the hopes that reaching it will preserve his dying world, with the other introducing the antagonist, the Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey).

The Dark Tower is not a direct adaptation of any of the books in the series from author Stephen King but is rather a continuation and semi-amalgamation of what’s already out there. It’s hinted that the film takes place towards the end of Deschain’s journey.
The film also stars Fran Kranz, Jackie Earle Haley, Abbey Lee, and Kathryn Winnick.
The Dark Tower, which was recently delayed to Aug. 4, 2017, was directed by Nikolaj Arcel and produced by Akiva Goldman, Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Erica Hughes.

Fresh off his brief appearance as Longlegs in Scary Movie, Deadline reports that Chris Elliott will star alongside Michael Ian Black in Sasquatch creature comedy Bad Day for Bigfoot.
Sara Tomko (Resident Alien), Oliver Cooper (Project X) and James Duval (Donnie Darko) also star in the film from filmmakers Zach Green and Devin O’Rourke (Foil).
Deadline details in today’s exclusive report, “The film follows a Bigfoot hoax that goes horribly wrong in the middle of an actual Sasquatch hot spot, leading to a chaotic struggle between the hoaxers, investigators, and a supernatural force that defies explanation.”
“I have always been drawn to cryptids and monster lore, and the over-the-top sincerity of 80s and 90s protagonists,” director Zach Green said in a statement. “Bad Day for Bigfoot is a love letter to those creature-filled adventure comedies. I couldn’t be more proud of the cast and crew we’ve assembled, and for the support and enthusiasm from the people of La Grande [Oregon]. It was their gumption that proved to us that making this thing was very possible, and that what’s lurking in those woods may be very real indeed.”
The cast also includes Ashley Rae Spillers, Brian McGuire and Kyle D. King.
