New The Dark Tower teaser shows off tons of Stephen King easter eggs

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Having not read any of the popular DARK TOWER books written by Stephen King, I have to say nonetheless I am all in for the movie starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey. Its got badass steampunk gunkata, cool monsters, seemingly great performances…what’s not to love?

Well, with the release date fast-approaching, Sony has released a new teaser that posits THE DARK TOWERS role in the universe of other Stephen King stories (the way the novels do). So we see references to THE SHINING, CARRIE, SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, and, surprisingly IT (since it’s also coming out soon this year, and from a rival studio). In either case, you can watch it below:

Did you catch all the references?

Meanwhile THE DARK TOWER will aim at theaters August 4th.
