Filmadaptionen av Stephen King-klassikern The Dark Tower med idris Elba gick inte särskilt väl hos varken kritiker eller biografer, men nu hoppas fans att filmvärldens största King-fantast Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep) ska göra bokserien rättvisa. Tanken är att The Dark Tower ska adapteras till minst en fem säsonger lång TV-serie, men på grund av strejken har Flanagans drömprojekt lagts på is. Trots detta menade regissören i en intervju med The Kingcast att produktionen går framåt och kommer bli prioritering nummer ett när strejken väl är över:
"I feel really good about where we are. Oddly, where we are at the moment is completely frozen, because of the strike, but we had a wonderful spring with it and we're making enormous progress on it, and I have every reason to believe that on the other side of the strike, it's gonna be priority #1."
"We have great partners on it that I can't talk about, and we've got some really exciting actors circling on it that I can't talk about, and we have some potentially groundbreaking approaches to the filmmaking of it that I just can't really talk about ... but what I can say is that my fears that any momentum we had developed was gonna be obliterated [by the strike], well, I don't really worry about that."
