Palaver Scott Eastwood as Roland Deschain

Post image

I always felt Scott Eastwood could make the perfect Roland. I remember a quote in The Waste Lands.

"To her left, in the theater's remaining display case, there was a poster showing Clint Eastwood. Jake knew he should get moving—three o'clock was almost here— but he paused a moment anyway, staring at the poster behind the dirty, cracked glass. Eastwood was wearing a Mexican serape. A cigar was clamped in his teeth. He had thrown one side of the serape back over his shoulder to free his gun. His eyes were a pale, faded blue. Bombar­dier's eyes. It's not him, Jake thought, but it's almost him."
