The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.
Stick to the books, don't watch the movie.
Idris Elba was such an intriguing choice for Roland, and he did a good job. Too bad the movie sucked.

I’ve read this 3 times and once as an audio book. Fantastic series and one of my favorites from King.
My only complaint, and I mean only, is that he stopped doing the flashbacks to young Roland after the 4th book.
Granted book 4 was virtually ALL flashback, but still, there was more story there that is missing now. :(
