Yeah, no idea why they decided to try and put all 7 books into one film. It removed most of the actual story I imagine and they took out loads of main characters who are in the book series from start to finish.

…I always feel so nervous with stories that I’ve loved the book and then know that they’re going to be adapted into the screen…it’s quite devastating when so much of a story’s detail and its heart is lost in the adaption and sometimes there are parts, which are key moments…that are completely changed to the point that it isn’t the same story anymore…I guess it’s easier now with mini-series and series adaptions because so much doesn’t have to be condensed and lost within a very small time frame…and maybe Dark Towers could be made so well now that would more mirror the written story…
