Javier Bardem still in talks to play The Dark Tower's Roland Deschain
"Dark Tower, Javier Bardem, that's what we're hoping. We're in the process of trying to put that together."
We reported at the end of January that the Roland Deschain lead role had been offered to Javier Bardem. When asked if Javier Bardem has actually signed a deal to star in The Dark Tower, Brian Grazer gave this interesting response.
"He's locked in psychologically. He really wants to do it, so we're absolutely rooting for him to do it. We're really just focused on Javier right now."
It isn't clear why he hasn't signed on yet, although there may be scheduling issues at hand. Ron Howard will direct The Dark Tower from a script by Akiva Goldsman, which is adapted from the Stephen King novel series.
The story centers on Roland Deschain, a nomadic gunman who goes on quest seeking The Dark Tower in a last-ditch effort to save humanity. The Dark Tower will also be expanded into a TV series, which will air between the first and second movie in a planned trilogy.
The Dark Tower is in development . The film is directed by Ron Howard.

I think he'd be good, but it would actually surprise me if an actor like Bardem would be willing to commit to one project exclusively for 4-5 years. If he declines, they should go for Viggo. He's already shown he's willing to do this with LotR.
