The Long Climb

THE DARK TOWER Stars Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Taylor Director Nikolaj Arcel

As a sequel to Stephen King’s novel series of the same name, “The Dark Tower” tells the story of Jake Chambers (Tom Taylor) who finds himself dragged into another dimension. There he meets Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), a gunslinger on his way to protect the Dark Tower which basically holds reality—actually all realities— together. And in their way stands one of King’s most charismatic villains: The Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey). Expect a lot of intricacy (as befitting of a movie set in an extended universe created by Stephen King) and a unique mix of action, sci-fi, fantasy and western elements.
