SonyIdris Elba really knows how to tote a gun.
The first trailer for Stephen King's The Dark Tower adaptation dropped Wednesday morning, and Elba and foe Matthew McConaughey are fighting to the death over the titular Dark Tower. Elba, a sworn protector of the tower and gunslinger, faces off against McConaughey, who is described as "worse" than the Devil, who wants to destroy the tower. Should the Dark Tower be destroyed, however, both Earth and Mid-World will go down with it.
Obviously, a lot is at stake.
The action-packed trailer also featured references to other King movies. In the background, a photo of The Overlook Hotel from The Shining can be seen. But sometimes action and Easter eggs aren't enough, as the trailer for The Dark Tower released to mixed reviews.
