King's The Dark Tower Books Headed For The Big Screen!

Wow! This came together VERY quickly!
Stephen King's hugely successful The Dark Tower books will be getting not only the film treatment, but may also become a TV series!
King is apparently in very serious discussions to adapt his seven edition fantasy series with Akiva Goldsman of Weed Road, as well as Imagine Entertainment's Brian Grazer and Ron Howard. The team, who worked together on A Beautiful Mind, are hoping to re-work this story into a cohesive screen trilogy in the vein of Lord of the Rings.
Goldsman is apparently working on the script, with Howard set to direct.
Sounds like it has the potential to be really cool!
We're not too familiar with the books, but we know people are OBSESSED with them, so what do U think??
Are U happy The Dark Tower books are becoming movies, or should they just be left alone??
