I doubt that project will ever be attempted. It's twice as long as Lord of the Rings. Hell, look how much they cut out to make The Stand, and it was still 8 or 9 hours, from only 1100 pages.
A talented film school student could make a fantastic project out of The Gunslinger though. Simple story, could easily be compressed to 100 minutes or so. But it couldn't be done by a major studio due to the oddness of events, and no way King would sell the rights to any part of that franchise to an indy studio.
