The successor of Stephen King's book series makes me a bit uneasy. It feels a bit too generic for the osurce material that was often odd with all sorts of dimension jumping adventures. Of course, this is not based on the books, but a sequel so who knows where the story is going. This, along with Blade Runner 2049, are the two movies I am most nervous about this year.
Read the books?
Think the movie looks interesting?

How do you know this is a sequel? Jake is meeting the Gunslinger in the trailer and seems to happen upon the Gunslinger in a very different way than the novel. Jake was hit by a car and killed and was portaled to the Gunslingers realm. I also notice the library in NY City where Roland, Jake and Eddie were looking for, you know... My point is, I don't see how the studio could claim this is a sequel when it contains - judging from the trailer alone - many of the events that happened in the first four books.
I'm a HUGE fan of the novels and I realize that no movie can be outright true to the novel. I'm interested in the movie and think the trailer stands on its own, but I already disagree with a few things. They should have just done the TV series and then movie, then back to TV series like originally planned, not this condensed nonsense.
