Matthew McConaughey vann en Oscar för rollen som den medicinslingande knarkbaronen Ron i 2013 års dundersuccé Dallas Buyers Club. Sedan dess har han varit hetare än het potatis. Så het att han bland annat tackade nej till en rätt ordentlig roll i James Gunns kommande uppföljare Guardians of the Galaxy 2 och i en nygjord intervju med Playboy berättar Matt varför han tackade nej till den filmen för att istället göra The Dark Tower.
"I like Guardians of the Galaxy, but what I saw was 'It's successful, and now we've got room to make a colorful part for another big-name actor.' I'd feel like an amendment. The Dark Tower script was well written, I like the director [Nikolaj Arcel] and his take on it, and I can be the creator, the author of the Man in Black, a.k.a. the Devil, in my version of this Stephen King novel. We've done the first one. It's a fantastic thriller that takes place in another realm, an alternate universe, but it's very much grounded. For instance, the gunslinger's weapon isn't a lightsaber or something; it's a pistol. I enjoyed approaching my character as if I were the Devil having a good time, getting turned on by exposing human hypocrisies wherever he finds them."
