It's Official, Javier Bardem Offered Lead in 'The Dark Tower'!

The NY Post ran a story that Christian Bale has pulled ahead of Javier Bardem and Viggo Mortensen as Ron Howard and Stephen King's choice for The Dark Tower main character, gunslinger Roland Deschain.

Deadline is now reporting that Bardem - who won an Oscar as the assassin in No Country For Old Men - has officially been offered the lead role by director Ron Howard and Universal Pictures.

Akiva Goldsman has scripted the first movie (due in theaters May 17, 2013), and will write the TV component as well.
