At some point in the distant past we reported that J.J. Abrams had purchased the film rights to Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, a hybrid Sci-Fi Fantasy group of novels that redefine epic. J.J. purchased the rights for 19 bucks, a magical number in the series and quite a steal.

J.J. Abrams and his partner in crime Damon Lindelof (Lost) have begun to work on a film adaptation of Stephen King’s magnum opus Dark Tower series. In an interview with IGN, Damon said he is focused on finishing Lost which ends next year. After that, looks like we’ll be seeing a J.J. and Damon production of the story of the Gunslinger Roland and his journey and quest to save the Dark Tower.
