I think the casting is great so far.

I do too. I'm just baffled at which characters they're casting now. This is going to be so interesting/strange.

Also, I

Katherynn Winnick so much. She is so great in the show "Vikings", which I just found out was renewed for another season.

Congratulations! I know how much you love that show. I'm glad you get more of it.

Some theories I'm seeing saying that she'll be playing Alice. Which is pretty cool. I would dig that.

However, AICN is saying she's playing a "new" character (at least code)named "Jill."

Yeah she's great. I'm struggling to remember some of the characters they have cast. I guess its been too long.

Almost all of them are fairly minor and appear in the last three books.

I thought the books were okay and I have only a passing curiosity about the movie (the kind of thing I'd see eventually, but it would need rave reviews to get me to the theater). But Elba was a fantastic piece of casting, and he looks great

Absolutely.

Idris Elba should be in every movie.

It's kind of unreal.

Just saw a rumor - do not click unless you've read the last book - about the story:

Spoiler: show: Roland has the horn so the movies will be different than the books.

So pumped if that's true. I've said since I finished it that that particular story should be told and here we are.

Everything I've read today on every single website and every podcast or interview I've listened to has supported your spoiler. So, I'd wager that it is absolutely true. Which is fucking awesome and just creates so much freedom and opportunity. I fucking LOVE it.
