Personally I would like the reverse and have Elba as the villain and Matt as the Gunslinger. Oh well, the trailer does look interesting and actually may get me to go back to the books and finish them.

I also need to finish the books.  My biggest problem with this movie, besides screwing up the casting and look of the characters (seriously, Roland looks like a Blade wannabe, now), is that they aren't even adapting the books correctly.  It's pretty damn obvious to do this 1 book, 1 movie.  Instead this movie is trying to fit much of the entire series into one movie, pulling elements from 3 books, plus supposedly have some story that's supposed to take place after the last book.  This is going to be a complete clusterfuck of a movie.

It probably would have been best if they did the movie like Perter Jackson did the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.  Do not try to put an entire book series in a couple movies.
