    For a second there I thought Hartnett landed a role as Roland and I about burst into tears.

    @icurschwartz: My sadness at thinking Josh would be Roland was tempered for a second by my happiness at thinking The Gunslinger was finally going to get fucking made.

    Harnett is one of the younger leagues more tolerable stars. I dont mind him in anything really. Looking forward to Daybreakers and this sounds rather good aswell.

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): I agree, I prefer him to many of his peers. I liked him in Lucky Number Slevin - vengeance is good.

    @Perhaps Not: Not really. You can't copyright a title or a general story-arc. At the very worst, maybe you can try and get some trademark issues going, but I think Stephen King would have more than a little trouble asserting that he has a trademark on the word "Gunslinger."

    @braak: I think he'd have a pretty easy time proving that he wrote a post-apocalyptic Western of that title first, though, and that confusion could ensue. Remember when Patricia Cornwell sued the filmmakers over Madonna's "Body of Evidence?" There's a disclaimer in that movie now.

    The photo is dated as June 1960. Too late to be from an episode of Tightrope since the series ended in May of 1960 and did not have a second season. Mike began filming a western movie, The Dalton That Got Away shortly thereafter. This might have just been a candid photo on the film set.

    And let's not forget Gene Autry's 1935 sf cowboy serial set at the Radio Ranch, The Phantom Empire. There are at least 2 episodes available at Youtube.
