Stephen King’s The Dark Tower is finally underway and we now even have our first look at Idris Elba as The Gunslinger.

The set photos of Elba in costume were posted on twitter:

The Dark Tower “tells the story of Roland Deschain (Elba), the Mid-World’s last gunslinger, who travels across the post-apocalyptic landscape in search of the magical edifice known as the Dark Tower, the nexus point of the space-time continuum.”

Matthew McConaughey will star alongside Elba as the Man in Black. The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on January 13, 2017.
