Meh-no. I really like Karl but…he’s just not right for Roland. Too movie star-esque. Viggo is still my #1 choice.

Dude Viggo is the best choice and only getting tastier as he ages. Idk why people keep trying to change Roland. It's like they don't even read the books 10 million times

Current Viggo would be peak. I always thought Ed Harris would be perfect as well if he was a few decades younger lmao

I mean, if you truly read the books, Roland is more Clint Eastwood than Viggo.

Holy shit, I never considered Viggo but he would be perfect

Damn that's the best casting choice for roland I've heard of, never even crossed my mind

I've said Viggo 100 times on this sub and always get DV'd into oblivion.

Viggo is literally older than Gandalf now.

Not at all.

can we ban AI from this sub please

Seriously

“Oi! You’ve forgotten your dah’s ugly mug bruv.”

...and the endearing way he calls Jake "cunt".

Yet another shitty AI rendering, yay

"fan" "art"


I think Idris Elba has potential, but that turd of a movie might have scoured his possibility of being Roland again

No

Karl Urban wouldn't be a bad choice at all. For some reason, when I was reading the books, my mind would picture Javier Bardem

What about Keith Urban? Lol!

Nah, give me Timothy Olyphant as Roland and Walton Goggins as Randal Flagg. 

As much as I loved them in justified.. that's all I would be able to think of haha so not for me

Swap em

I love it. I'd also be good with Goggins as a Big Coffin Hunter. Just need me some more Goggins. 

Now do Keith Urban

He needs more collars

Nope. Only Joe Exotic can play him.

Nah it needs to be Cillian Murphy. His eyes are on point to play Roland!

Hmm, better Eddie I think

Doesn’t even almost look like Karl urban. I thought the point of ai was for people to make pictures they couldn’t make otherwise, but apparently it can’t even make a picture of Karl urban?

Do Sean Hayes next

Taylor Kitsch as Roland. I see Karl Urban, but oddly looks like Kitsch too

He might be a little too pretty, but it’s hard to say since I don’t think I’ve seen him in anything.

He's not young, British, nor Indian enough.

...neither is Roland

And? Still not how Roland is described in the book. At all

That's like, really irrelevant. Things change all the time for book adaptations, why not appearance or race?

I'm responding to the person commenting on the original post saying it's not " young enough, British enough or Indian enough" So it like, *is* relevant to the comment I responded to

I'm being sarcastic... ffs...

K yeah that totally reads /s
