制作人Brian Gazer在MTV的采访中称：虽然Universal已经从改编计划（见注1）中退出（见注2），但HBO已同意参与制作电视剧的部分（见注3）。虽然改编计划一变再变，Gazer称他有信心能请到Javier Bardem出演Roland Deschain的角色（见注4）。
注1：三部电影加一部剧集，剧集暂定为两季，用来串联三部曲
注2：主要原因是巨额资金投入，总计约45,000,000美刀；Universal在洽谈过程中也提出很多修改方案以减少开支，这也可能是谈判失败的原因之一
注3：按照原计划是NBC
注4：只要Javier的档期没问题，Roland一角估计铁定就是他了（导演他们决定的；个人还是铁Viggo Mortensen）

Stephen King's Dark Tower to rise on HBO, producer says
Despite its troubles, the adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower book series is still standing - on the small screen, at least.
Producer Brian Grazer told MTV News that the television portion of the project - which, overall, is to include a TV series and three movies - will run on HBO.
"We'll do the TV with HBO, and we'll do the movie with - to be determined. We'll do it right," Grazer said.
After delaying production, Universal Studios dropped the project in July due to budget concerns. According to Grazer - who's been working on the project with Ron Howard - the budget has been trimmed substantially. He remains confident that the movies will emerge from a new studio with their integrity intact.
"We're going to do that movie. We've lost $45 million out of the budget," Grazer said. "When people say no to you enough, then you have to lose money, which we've done without harming the scope of the film."
The producer also remains confident that Javier Bardem, who was attached to star in the movies prior to Universal dropping them, is still up for playing gunslinger Roland Deschain.
HBO did not respond for comments.

注意最后的红字。所以说在HBO官方放话之前还是先降低期待吧……不过只要HBO肯做，质量绝对不会差（Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, Deadwood, ... HBO的好片无数啊！）。
