The feature film adaptation of Stephen King's "Dark Tower" is in the making with Sony.
A new script has been worked out based on the first novel 'The Gunslinger' which will be co-produced by Ron Howard.
The long-gestating project has been in development since 2007 but Universal and then Warner Bros passed it on due to budget issues, reported Ace Showbiz.
The story centers on Roland Deschain who travels across a desolate and vaguely post-apocalyptic landscape in his quest for a black tower.
