...and Roland is going to be played by a black actor. And boy, are some people super-buttangry about this.

It's official: The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed. #DarkTowerMovie @McConaughey @IdrisElba

Man, people are getting seriously buttangry that Roland's being played by a black dude. Doesn't bother me a bit.

People are actually saying it "saddens" them, and that this will "ruin" the movie. Seriously? *eye roll*

I'm not saying the movie's going to be great or anything, because movies based on King books are hit or miss anyway. We'll see, I guess.

So Detta doesn't get to call Roland a honky or whatever. BFD.

Just look at the reaction: https://t.co/pbWaFZcFEb It's amazing.

Granted, there are just as many who are pleased by the choice, or at least, aren't foaming at the mouth angry about it, so that's good.
