5 hidden signals to the dark tower in other Stephen King’s films

Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” expansion series was very fans when it comes to the screen modifications, with the 2017 movie (Subpar) 2017 only tries to tell the Guninger Roland Deschain story and its epic journey towards the Honorary Tower. Now it seems that there may be already appropriate Adaptation flow from the door of courtesy Mike FlaanganWho brought out Great Great on King’s stories with “Doctor Sleep” and “Gerald’s Game,” With elements that the king himself formulatedIt is a kind of dream come true.

Since “The Dark Tower” connects a large amount of King’s works on the printed page, there are some big signals to “Dark Tower” novels in other King’s modifications, giving fans a little hope over the years, we may one day meet the title of Roland, frameworkPerhaps even the train, this pain. Let’s take a look at five of the largest references to the world of “The Dark Tower” in the other Stephen King (and the mini series), than what is somewhat clear to a little more mysterious.

in Frank Darbont’s 2007 movie for King’s novel “The Mist”, We see the film’s protagonist, David Drayon (Thomas Jin), working on an impressive plate during the opening scenes. Its studio contains a number of wonderful paintings in it, including the 1982 John Carpeting movie cover and art for the 2006 “Pan” Pan “Pan’s Labyrinth”, and in the background there is a young palette with a red balloon (indicating the King’s Nightmarish)). However, the painting on which it works is from Roland, wears its armed equipment and standing in front of a large metal door, with the dark tower in the distant background ( TRUE The artist that we see in this scene is the legendary poster painter, Dro Struzan, by the way). But how will David know about Roland?

In “Dark Tower” books, King offers the idea of “Thinny”, or sites where the facts are slightly cleared and people and elements can appear from different worlds in others. The small city is likely to be in the state of Mine where “fog” is close to thin, or David can be a person who is able to benefit from these facts through the powers similar to Tounce (and others) in “The Shing”. It is also possible that Darboon only wanted to give a gesture to other king’s works. Whatever it is, art is great seriously and it is an enjoyable moment otherwise The total problem of a movie.

There are quite a few of the “dark tower” relationships between the King’s “Shining” and “Doctor Sleep”, including the Overlook Hound Hotel, which contains 19 steps from its lobby to the second floor – is remarkable because 19 is a cosmic number in Multives Multiverses from “The Dark Tower”. Since the writer and director Mike Flangan is a great fan of “The Dark Tower”, he merged the references in his excellent modification of “Doctor Sleep”, including the number 19 on the Jacob Treblay Jersey and Fun Naming Converters such as the “Tet Transit”, after Corporation Tet Tower “Dark Tower”. The industrial complex in which Bradley is also owned by the “Dark Tower” company, and we can see posters of shows from an alternative to the “Dark Tower” Monster Dandelo in the background of one scene, but one line that all exceeds it when it comes to referring to the most epic works.

The biggest connection on the screen comes between “Doctor Sleep” and “The Dark Tower” when the Dick Hallrann (Carl Lumbly) ghost speaks loudly, saying: “Ka is a wheel.” This is a direct line of novels, which explains one of the great driving forces in King’s Multiverse: KA. KA is similar to a kind of power of “Star Wars”, in very simplified phrases, as it connects all things together and pays time forward. KA is the pot, just like “Ka-Tet” is a group of heroes bound by fate. (In the novel “The Sleep of the doctor”, Danny refers to the group he collects to stop A real knot similar to vampires Ka Ka. Include some characters from “your doctor’s sleep” In the “Dark Tower” series, the path is already set frankly until it happens.

There is a very intense relationship between another air conditioner from Stephen King from Mike Flaangan courtesy, and this is in his completely amazing movie “Gerald”. Although each of the novel “Gerald” has a direct relationship with King’s “Dolores Cleloborn” novel, because the two women can talk to each other through a kind of risk (is it bright? Is it something like King’s Zone? “It is certain that it is evil to see Jesse (Carla Gogino) Abandon the skin of her hand in order to escape from the handcuffsBut there is something that Gerald (Bruce Greenwood) may be worse, psychologically.

Flaanagan himself referred to the relationship in Interview with /movie Once again in 2017, saying:

“There is a truly decisive signal to the” dark tower “that occurs at the end of the film in a line by Bruce Greenwood to Carla, which is” all things that serve the beam. “It was that I really wanted to make sure we got there just because I am a fanatic” dark tower. “

But what does “all things serve the beam”? In “The Dark Tower”, this means that all universes and timelines are connected, and all serve the same biggest goal. Although this may not seem very frightening, it also means that the supernatural elements of the Gerald game may not only be in her mind, and there is a real mystical danger in every world.

So, if “all things serve the beam” and all the timelines are connected, does this mean that all the worlds of Stephen King are connected? Some fans believe it, but there is a full set of clear communication that you really did not have to search for new communication. One of the largest bad guys in King Lore is Randall Flagg, his shocking novel “The Stand”, which works as a great position for the Antichrist. Jamey Sheridan played in 1994 series and Alexander Squaregard in the 2020 series Ltd., Flagg is a truly terrifying evil that has a lot of magic although it looks like a man. In “The Dark Tower”, however, it is the Walkin ‘Dude/The Man in Black/Walter, one of the many opponents who work in a more terrifying evil, The Crimson King.

Flagg has many faces and even It appears at King’s “The Shawshank Redemption,” Make him one of the few characters who woven into the stories of a man rather than just contacting her. “The Stand” is one of the best King’s works, such as “The Dark Tower”, the modifications have not been promoted to the level of the source source yet (even if Flanagan is a fan of the suitability of 1994). It is not the only monster linking King’s works, as the irrevocable villain has his “Dark Tower” relationships.

Another big movie is Stephen King/”The Dark Tower” (The actual movie “The Dark Tower” is not calculated from 2017, of course), although this is not just directly like any of the above. Remember Dandelo, as it is the shift of the shape that appears on the stickers like the Easter egg in “Doctor Sleep”? Dandelo is the same type of monster outside the planet, which takes the frightening shape of the dance clown in the King’s 1986 novel and its modifications on the screen. That, which Tim Curry played in the 1990 and Bill Scarsgard series in 2017 and 2019 films “It” and “IT Chapter Tho”, has a real shape closer to a giant space spider, just like Dandelo. They are from the same place, and therefore it is in the service of the beam, the delivery of “IT” and “The Dark Tower”.

The king said it is possible Flagg which is actually one and the sameAlthough it is possible that they mean that they are just parts of evil and not in reality a unique entity. Look, it’s far from the strangest theory of King or even Pennywise, as some fans are theoretical that Mary Poppins (yes, the flying nanny with umbrella from Disney films) is In fact the same type of existence As it is and Abdan. now this Berri. Perhaps we will get some new Easter eggs when the Flanagan series appears ultimately on the main video, but now we have these delicious links to avoid us.
