Watch the full trailer for The Dark Tower here
Directed by A Royal Affair’s Nikolaj Arcel, The ambitious The Dark Tower has had a few hiccups getting off the ground with names coming and going and release dates pushed back but finally it’s all systems go in the film which stars Idris Elba as Roland Deschain – a gunslinger hero on a mission to save The Dark Tower against Matthew McConaughey’s evil Man in Black.
In the first clip below entitled Man in Black, you guessed it, focuses on McConaughey stating “The war is over my friend- everyone you have ever loved has died by my hand” With shots fired by Elba, and a glimpse of McConaughey’s face appears at the very end.
The second clip titled Knight switches its focus onto the Last Gunslinger Knight – Elba- “I do not shoot with my hand, I shoot with my mind – I do not kill with my gun, I kill with my heart” echoes through the clip as our western looking hero shoots his way through the thirty-second preview.
The third and final preview is simply entitled Earth and combines clips from the previous two above with a few extra explosive scenes as good vs evil come face to face ending on Elba miraculously surviving after falling through a window.
We also have a number of images from The Dark Tower below for you to feast on.
