Roland is white in the books and it actually plays into the story at one point (when he suffers a tirade of "honky" insults from a black female character), but apparently they're going to redo that story for the film.<br /><br />The story in the film is also apparently going to be directly said to be an alternate universe/parallel reality version of the one in the books, where some things are very similar and other things, even fundamental things, are totally different.Adam Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-34595300139981861982016-05-17T17:01:51.743+00:002016-05-17T17:01:51.743+00:00This is a joke having a black guy play Roland is i...This is a joke having a black guy play Roland is insane.
