I think we all know he (Roland) was supposed to be a young Clint Eastwood. Scott Eastwood isn't proven enough yet IMO, so Matthew McConaughey it is...

Considering the weathered look and piercing blue eyes described in the book and his age that's impossible to tell (anywhere between 50-200 years), I can't see how anyone couldn't immediatly think of Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen or Daniel Craig.    Mortensen is definitely my pick. |

Mortensen is definitely my pick. Yeah, same here. If I had to pick one of those 3 I'd settle for Viggo. He would have been perfect. Nothing against Elba - he's a great action leading man (which is apparently what they went for) - but that's never how I saw Roland. |

I like Viggo. He was great in The Road. Might have worked.

I think Viggo was actually considered.

Daniel Craig is a dufus--Ed Harris is too old--Viggo however might indeed have been a good choice |

Really? He's supposed to be that old? Is that actually made explicit in any of the books? I never got that impression. Maybe 40 at the outset. |
