Last fall, the trailer for Sony’s highly-anticipatedThe Dark Towerwas supposed to debut during Entertainment Weekly’s first annual PopFest. That never happened, with an unfinished version ofThe Dark Tower trailerleaking early online. Now, with just over five months left until this highly-anticipated adaptation hits theaters in July, it seems we may finally be getting the first trailer very soon. Although an official date for the trailer launch has not been set.There has been a new song released through Spotify, which is from theDark Towermovie trailer, and it has many suspecting that the trailer is just around the corner.
ABirth.Movies.Deathreader alerted the site to a new single byL’Orchestra Cinematiqueentitled “Behind Blue Eyes,” a cover ofThe Who’s classic song of the same name, with accompanying artwork revealing that this song is fromThe Dark Towertrailer. This is also the same song that was attached to theleaked trailerfrom October, which had unfinished special effects, and wasn’t received well by the fan community. It hasn’t been confirmed if we’ll be getting a completely new trailer, or merely the same footage from the leaked trailer with finished effects.
Just a few weeks after the trailer leak, Sony Pictures pushedThe Dark Tower release datefrom August 14, 2025 to July 26, 2025, giving the filmmakers more time to complete the effects and the rest of the post-production work. The film was originally slated to go up againstThe Great Wall,A Cure For WellnessandFist Fighton February 17, but now it will square off against Focus Features’The Coldest Cityas well as Paramount’s documentaryAn Inconvenient Sequel, a follow-up to the critically-acclaimedAn Inconvenient Truth.
When this adaptation was first set at Universal Pictures, the plan was for the studio to distribute a movie trilogy, with NBC to air two seasons of a limited TV series in between the movies, to flesh out the world fromStephen King’s books even more. When the project shifted to Sony Pictures, the studio teamed with Media Rights Capital to co-finance both the trilogy and theDark Tower TV series, but we haven’t heard much about the series since then.Ron Howardteased during an interview in September that the TV show is still in development, but he doesn’t know where the series may land at this time.
