9. So Meta Your Brain Might Swallow Itself
You will be able to watch The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger without worrying about knowing the in’s and out’s of Stephen King’s entire expansive bibliography. For those people who have read some of King’s classics, though, there will be plenty of treats in store. Here’s one example for movie geeks and horror readers: one of the film’s minor characters, Lucas Hanson, is played by Nicholas Hamilton. Hamilton is also starring in the King reboot of IT. In the trailer for The Gunslinger, there is a visible reference to Pennywise the Clown, the most fearsome manifestation of the antagonist of IT.
