Daniel Craig, Hugh Jackman may star in 'The Dark Tower'

Actors Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman are likely to star in a movie adaptation of Stephen King's fantasy horror "The Dark Tower".

Director Ron Howard has revealed that both the actors are in "talks" for parts.

"We've been meeting and talking and I've been researching and just kind of living with it. I really can't stop thinking about it," contactmusic.com quoted him as saying.

"I've been constantly going through stuff and I've just been re-listening to it on audio books on my iPod and we've been sending e-mails back and forth, 'What about this approach? What do you think of this idea?' We're finding the shape of it. We're moving quickly now, as quickly as we can, and I feel challenged in the most exciting ways," he added.
