In order for Dark Tower not to become too serious, you have to have an actor that can do comedy, also a YOUNG actor. I also like James Marsden - McAvoy is getting very popular. Susanna Dean can be older than Eddie, she should be very strong and able to go between Detta and back. She can't be a Halle Berry type. Clint Eastwood should do a cameo, Cort or Steven Deschaine Yes, Yes, James McAvoy as Eddie!

I think Casey affleck could do a good Eddie, but if you read the books Eddie is only supposed to be like 21 when the first book comes out, I think the guy from wanted could work, although in my head I always picture a young Robert Downey Jr. (its the sarcasm that does it). And for my money Roland of Gilead IS Henry Fonda from Once Upon a Time in the West. Anyone who has ever seen it and seen those piercing blues eyes look out from under that black flat brimmed hat will know what i'm talking about. If they could find a working actor today who looked like that, I say go for it. Susannah is an odd one to cast, it needs to be someone with a little Pam Greer to get in that 70's chick with a gun baddass quality but at the same time be a much stronger actress than Greer. Its a tough call to make all around honestly. Some good suggestions.

For Susannah, I like Jurnee Smollett, last seen in The Great Debaters, and as for Jake...I say find some unknown who can REALLY act, i mean REALLY ACT.

Cort: Michael Chiklis Eddie: Jake Gyllenhaal Odetta/Detta: Jada Pinkett Smith Jake: (still looking)Rory Culkin is too old now Walter O'Dim: definatly Willem DaFoe Gosh, there are sooo many characters to cast, its gonna be one tough job. i think Scott Glenn would make a better Roland (Clint Eastwood is too old, unfortunately, Jackman too young).

Then if we look at him in Wanted, he could be right the Eddie who made up his mind, got adult and with a more fit body, ready to kill.

I was thinking about him since the Drawing of the Three, the James with long hair as we saw him in "The Last King of Scotland" would fit imho. Then I saw the trailer of the upcoming "Wanted" with Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman... James plays the role of a mr. nobody who finds out to be the son of one of the best enforcer of an assassin brotherhood... then he learns and train to become one of them accepting his fate, especially in using guns and a particular way of shooting. Man, that IS my Eddie... check it out! My pick for Eddie would be James McAvoy (of course with different eye color).
