Universal has passed on going forward with the project, dealing a huge blow in the plan for Ron Howard to direct Akiva Goldsman's script, with Brian Grazer, Goldsman and the author producing and Javier Bardem starring as gunslinger Roland Deschain. Now, the filmmakers will have to find a new backer of what might well be the most ambitious movie project since Bob Shaye allowed Peter Jackson to shoot three installments of The Lord of the Rings back to back.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy about this.
Though I thought Bardem was a great casting choice, as I'd said previously, I don't think Howard is the right man for this adaptation, and his desire to do the entire seven book series in two films is all the evidence I need of that.
I'd sooner there not be any DT movies than see an inferior adaptation come out.
