USA Today has learned that the Dark Tower film has been abandoned, atleast for the timebeing.

Damon Lindeloff (who was adapting the Stephen King book for a film) had this to say…

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a huger fan of the Dark Tower than me, but that’s probably the reason that I shouldn’t be the one to adapt it.
After working six years on Lost, the last thing I want to do is spend the next seven years adapting one of my favorite books of all time. I’m such a massive Stephen King dan that i’m terrified of screwing it up.

I’d do anything to see those movies written by someone else. My guess is they will get made because they’re so incredible. but not by me.
