I love Hugh Laurie, and I think he probably has the acting chops to attack Roland...

but I agree, I don't know if I'd want to see it as a film. My other objection would be, quite simply, length. There's no way this story could be done in a single film, and to even make it a trilogy would be a tragedy. But would they have the money backing to do all 7 books separately? It could turn into LOTR x 2.

You see these shackles
Baby I’m your slave
I’ll let you whip me if I misbehave

Tie me to the bedpost

I like it rough
cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
