It seems Ron Howard and Imagine Entertainment has wanted to keep their production of “The Dark Tower” in the news over the holidays. As online sources and newspapers are awash with casting rumors, highlighting a supposed battle between Viggo Mortensen and Javier Bardem being for the lead role.

Ho hum … call us when there’s real news.

But our opinions aren’t that important. What do you think? Is this the type of series you want to see? Does this trailer get you get you psyched for the series? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

Back in ’08, Chris Eccleston recorded a series of spooky tales with a demonic spin for Christmas. We’ve already posted “Thurlow’s Christmas”, now it’s time for Saki‘s classic tale “She-Wolf”. This tale reiterates that common holiday saw: Don’t practice dark arts at a house party.
