In a nod to Blackadder, this is King's magnificent octopus.

Entertainment Weekly informs me that production has finally gotten rolling on a movie adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower. According to the article, Idris Elba has been confirmed as the gunslinger and Matthew McConaughey will play the man in black. The film will be directed by Nikolaj Arcel (best known for the 2012 film A Royal Affair and for co-writing the Swedish version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo), and Sony Pictures is hoping for a Jan. 13, 2017 release date.

On a purely frivolous note, that is the least flattering picture of Matthew McConaughey I have ever seen. Does the author of the article have some kind of grudge?
