We have already had images and leaks from The Dark Tower, but this is our first peek at Matthew McConaughey as the villain of the piece… Randall Flagg, the Walkin’ Dude himself.
Flagg goes by many names in the books including Merlyn and Walter, but he’s a very cool, laid back, almost rock star character with an evil, hate driven and supernatural darkness bubbling just below the surface… all capped off with a cool Southern drawl.
We reckon the scene being filmed currently in New York will see Flagg as Walter O’Dim meeting Jake Chambers (Tom Taylor) for the first, fateful time… but we’re not totally sure.
So yeah, the image above, shared by the Stephen King Writer FB page, is pretty much on the money… like a cross between the Terminator and Johnny cash.
Let us know what you think of McConaughey in the image…
The Dark Tower is set to be directed by Nikolaj Arcel with a February 17th, 2017 release and along with McConaughey is Idris Elba as Roland Deschain, The Gunslinger, Abbey Lee as Tirana and Fran Kranz as Pimli. The film also features Jackie Earle Haley, Katheryn Winnick and Claudia Kiim .
