Aaron Paul discussed playing Eddie Dean in ‘Dark Tower’ with Ron Howard,
While promoting his film Hellion at Sundance, Aaron Paul confirmed that he had sat down with Ron Howard about a role in Dark Tower and his thoughts on the franchise.
Speaking with Ain’t It Cool News, Paul revealed that he’s met with Ron Howard about potentially playing Eddie Dean in an eventual The Dark Tower film series
“I’ve had a ton of meetings on that. I just had a general sit down with Ron Howard, who is a huge fan of the show (Breaking Bad), which is such a crazy thing to even think that Ron Howard even knows who I am. They’re definitely planning on making it.”
Paul admitted that he hasn’t read all of the Dark Tower books, he seemed pretty enthused about the prospect of joining Howard’s adaptation.
“I’m excited. Their goal is to do three films, but also have a television element to it, which will be very interesting. From what I hear, Eddie Dean is a pretty epic, iconic character.”
Overall the Dark Tower project seems pretty stalled after the failed film The Lone Ranger. More on that conversation or the reason why the film is less and less likely, read the full article here
