Abrams and Lindelof doing Dark Tower after Lost?

Cool. [Link]

Thing I did not know: J.J. Abrams', director of the upcoming Star Trek reboot and producer on Lost, has the film rights to Stephen King's Dark Tower series. I bring this up because Abrams just told IGN that he's going to get to work on The Dark Tower with buddy Damon Lindelof after Lost ends.

It would work best as a TV series rather than as movies. Not a whole lot of effects, and the scenery changes regularly.
