As with any story like this, especially coming from the NY Post, take all the rumors with a grain of salt.

The NY Post is reporting that “sources” have told them Christian Bale is now Ron Howard AND Stephen King’s number one choice to play gunslinger Roland Deschain in THE DARK TOWER. Of course, we had been hearing the names of Viggo Mortensen and Javier Bardem in conjunction with the role, but now it would appear (as these mystery sources have it) that Bale “has pulled ahead” in the derby.
