Apparently, it just wasn’t meant to be — for now. Per Deadline, Universal has decided not to go forward with the crazy-ambitious adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower that director Ron Howard , producer Brian Grazer and screenwriter/producer Akiva Goldsman had planned over three films and two companion television series. Howard is now free to shop the project to other studios, though whether one bites remains to be seen. This is the second major geek property that Universal has passed on this year, following Guillermo del Toro’s At the Mountains of Madness . [ Deadline ]

Just in time for the millions of Muggles awaiting this weekend’s Harry Potter finale comes this delightful story from the Time archives, dated Sept. 7, 1931: “Ten cents’ worth of a certain bird seed, planted in any back yard, will grow into a yardful of marijuana. Its leaves can be dried, ground and rolled into cigarets, which are bootlegged under the name of ‘muggles,’ ‘reefers,’ or ‘Mary Warners.’ Thinner, shorter than standard cigarets, ‘muggles’ are made from the small delicate leaves of the female marijuana plant. In New Orleans many a schoolchild is said to be an addict; prison authorities find muggle-smuggling a perplexing problem.” Muggle-smuggling! Anyway, now you know. [ Time via The Atlantic Wire ]
