After 7 Years in Production, The Dark Tower Looks Like It Was Worth the Wait

The insane first trailer for The Dark Tower dropped in May (below), and it's full of death, destruction, and a very creepy introduction to Matthew McConaughey as the infamous Man in Black. Because Idris Elba's Roland the Gunslinger can't stop him from destroying an otherworldly tower with his good looks alone, there's an international trailer as well (above), which is full of plenty of jaw-dropping gun fights to feast your eyes on. After enduring seven years of production, the wait for the adaptation of Stephen King's thriller was clearly worth it. The film is loaded with other talented cast members, but if you want a closer look at Elba and McConaughey's characters, also make sure you take a look at the three teasers Sony released.

The Dark Tower opens on Aug. 4!
