The Dark Tower movie billboards around L.A. 

This summer after many years languishing in development hell

Stephen King\'s epic book series, The Dark Tower, leaps from lettered page to the big screen.

\'Roland Deschain\', the last Gunslinger (played by Idris Elba), as he tried to reach and save The Dark Tower, a mythical construct which holds together all realities, from being toppled by \'Walter o\'Dim\' aka the \'Man in Black\' (Matthew McConaughey) in the ultimate battle of good versus evil.

His perilous quest saw him joined by companions drawn from other worlds, facing death-defying obstacles and pursued by sorcerers and monsters in a tale which was equal parts fantasy, science fiction,

These movie billboards featuring the two adversaries were snapped along

Sunset Boulevard, Pico Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue from July 17 to July 22, 2017.

Idris Elba, who certainly looks the part of the Gunslinger, can also enjoy these Beasts of No Nation movie billboards, these No Good Deed film billboards and these Guerrilla TV series billboards.

Matthew McConaughey can check out these Interstellar movie billboards and these True Detective season one billboards.

Let\'s hope this cinematic adaptation directed by 

Nikolaj Arcel, which will hop between parallel worlds of the 

Old West and modern day New York City, will be a worthy successor and continuation of the fantastical source material.

UPDATED: The Dark Tower may have its critics, but it certainly tries to cram as much mythology and magic into the short 95 minute movie as possible, and there\'s a lot there to please fans of the books.
