They need to do a good Dark Tower series. Make it a mini-series or a series of films.

The question was what hasn't been made. Dark Tower was attempted.

That movie had very little to do with the actual story aside from a few references. And without Eddie, Susannah, and a well-danced Commala I’ll never be satisfied.

Okay smarty pants… then I’ll happily point out the “Dark Tower” book is the final book, which wasn’t even really covered at all except for tertiary references to breakers. So, an adaptation for each of those that precede it? Does that pass muster?

Yes but the question was about books rhat haven't been made into movies should be, NOT what movies failed to do the book justice. If that was the question there would be a long, LONG list of movies that failed their source.

Yes, and as I suggest below, no adaptation has been made for all the books in the series. A movie named after the last book but seemingly not based on any of them was made. It shares a name with one of several books but that is all the is shared. So there are several books in the series to adapt.
