Stephen King's Dark Tower Series

Looks like Ron Howard is going to take a stab at making the seven book story into a film with 2 more movies planned and a tv series...

one of the best series I've read. I am a bit ambivalent about this being translated to film as most adaptations of King's have been duds. Saying this is an ambitious undertaking is an understatement, but the format variation is intriguing. As a LOST fan (and a fan of most stuff he's had his name attached to), I was hopeful when JJ Abrahams was attached to the project, but he bowed out due to the immensity of it all.
