Stephen King tweeted yesterday, to much excitement, that there is going to be a Dark Tower movie.
It’s official: The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed. #DarkTowerMovie @McConaughey @IdrisElba

I’ve never had much interest in Stephen King’s writing, in fact I don’t think I’ve even read any of his work. Supernatural fiction has just never held any appeal for me. I often see the opening line to The Gunslinger, quoted in the tweet above, claimed as one of the greatest openings ever written though. Maybe I should pick up The Dark Tower series and give it a try sometime.
