Here are some photos of Idris Elba in New York this weekend, filming The Dark Tower. Idris has been filming The Dark Tower – an adaptation of Stephen King’s novels – for months now. We first saw photos of Idris as the Gunslinger, aka Roland Deschain, last summer. So now I sort of wonder if these are reshoots or pickups, because surely Big Driis wasn’t filming the same movie for eight months, right? Probably. Matthew McConaughey is playing the Man in Black, but I don’t think McConaughey was there this weekend. Or if he was, I don’t really care because IDRIS. (Also: this movie comes out in July, so this was probably just a few days of reshoots and pick-ups.)
Anyway, I don’t have much to say about these photos other than “enjoy some Idris Elba” and “wow, I’ve always wanted to watch Idris Elba eat a hot dog in slow motion.” Seriously, someone should hire Idris to be the face of a hot dog brand. Coke should hire him too, because these photos are like the best Coca-Cola ad ever. I have a lot to say, actually, but I’m trying not to be such a pervert. Mmm… hot dog.

He’s so f-cking handsome!
He is sooooo handsome; what a lovely way to start my week! I’m actually kind of envious of that can of Coke, lol.
Oh my gosh…. You aren’t kidding. I remember the first time I saw him on the office.
I will have to see this, for my love of all things Stephen King and to watch this guy on screen.
That looks like an unadorned hotdog. Dris, where is the ketchup? Mustard? Pickles?
Are theY not letting him express his true food self because he’s wearing silly hand covers? Or does he really prefer hotdogs au naturale.
I have options if he doesn’t want to get his hands dirty, is all I’m saying.
Lol. But shame on you for suggesting ketchup on a hot dog…here in Chicago that’s practically a criminal defense.
He sure is hot, no matter what he’s got in his mitts.
I am only here to learn, what are traditional chicago fixings?
When I eat street meat, I go back to the very 8 year old palate basics.
Also, do you think idris possibly needs a full time food handler? You know, to gently and delicately hand feed him tender morsels… and ahem, keep his costume clean for totally professional reasons.
@ detritus A traditional Chicago hot dog has the following: yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish (which is almost glow in the dark neon green), onion, tomato, a dill pickle spear, sweet peppers, and a dash of celery salt.
Pretty sure this is a scene in the movie, it’s a scene from the book. The gunslinger actually says that mayo looks like cum, he’s from a different world. One of the funniest scenes in the book is when he has soda for the first time, he freaks out over the sugar
Haha my thoughts exactly!! That’s one dry dog
It’s the Idris version of a Flake advert! I’m sold.
But nothing will ever surpass the experience of watching Idris Elba: Fighter. Men dropped medicine balls on the Idris tummy. Idris got told off by his mum and did Idris whining. Still, I’m all in for Idris Elba: Gunslinger. Are there medicine balls AND hot dogs? That would be perfect.
Hahaha – the man is just sex personified.
He is, absolutely, the world’s hottest man. You have to watch that show, Betti. Cos it’s the perfect mix of Idris hotness and ludicrous hilarity. At one point, Idris gets in his car to proudly show us the scene of his first fight (a load of back street garages) and boast that he won it. Because of course he did.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
what a beautiful man
**swoons**
My husband is such a dream, sigh. How DID i get so lucky?!
Your husband? Step off girl. That man comes home to me every night. You are a side dish at best.
Just one night… give me just one night with him… that’s all I need.
Take video for the rest of us, k?
That would make a nice Coke ad.
Oh honey. Oh. Oh. Oh.oh.oh.oh.oh.ooooooo.
Oooooh.
Yummy! That man looks soooo good!
On a cold grey morning in Toronto, this is exactly what I needed. THANK YOU.
Sigh.
i’m so looking forward to this movie, so excited. these must be reshoots though, so hopefully it’s not because what they did up to now sucked.
Now I’m craving a hot dog (NOT A EUPHEMISM)
And my bae is looking so fine. Thanks for the sunshine!
Idris Elba could make the reading of a phone book sexy.
Um…yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.
There’s that Iggy Pop song “I wanna be your [hot]-dog”.
Yum
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…mmmmmmmmmmmmm! Mmmmmm…nom…nom!
…These kind of make me want to slip that can from his fingertips so he can feed me some of that hot dog.
Yep.
I went there.
Thank you. Just…. Thank you. Sigh
I don’t know if there were any words in this post, but thank you.
