(RTTNews) - Javier Bardem has been offered a starring role in the three-movie, multi-miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's book series "The Dark Tower."
The Spanish actor (who received an Academy Award for his performance in the Coen brothers film "No Country For Old Men" and was nominated for an Academy Award for his 2010 role in "Biutiful") is currently in talks for the role of Roland Deschain, the last member of a knightly order that must find the Dark Tower on his quest to reunite all universes.The first installment of the series (which will condense the seven-novel epic into film and television formats) is set to be scripted by Akiva Goldsman and adapted and directed by Ron Howard and is slated for release in the fall.
Howard had previously revealed that Jon Hamm ("Mad Men"), Daniel Craig ("James Bond"), Hugh Jackman ("X-Men"), and Viggo Mortensen ("Lord of the Rings") had been considered for the role of Deschain.
