Newcomer Tom Taylor falls into big Dark Tower role
After an exhaustive search presumably conducted across an endless desert and multiple alternate realties, Sony has found a kid to play Jake Chambers in its adaptation of Stephen King’s Dark Tower saga. That comes from Variety, which reports that the lucky young actor is relative newcomer Tom Taylor, a kid who only has a few roles to his name (two British TV shows and some appearances as a young version of Sean Bean’s character on TNT’s Legends). Taylor will be appearing alongside Idris Elba’s Roland Deschain and Matthew McConaughey’s Man In Black in the film, though he probably won’t interact much with the latter in this installment beyond a key meeting or two. Unless it deviates from the first book, of course.
