Stephen King’s Dark Tower Easter Egg From The Mist Shared By Infamous Movie Poster Artist

A Dark Tower Easter egg from the Stephen King adaptation The Mist is shared by a famous poster artist. Played by Thomas Jane, the main protagonist of 2007’s highly-regarded King novella adaptation is an artist named David Drayton, who during the film’s opening titles sequence, is seen creating a painting of a Clint Eastwood-like gunslinger standing on a beach in front of a floating door, flanked by a rose and a mysterious structure. King fans immediately recognized this as an Easter egg referencing another of the author’s works, the sprawling multi-novel Dark Tower series, which is itself currently set to receive a new TV adaptation from horror master Mike Flanagan.
