“The Dark Tower” movie was announced, and a breathtaking trailer followed.

On Tuesday, the first trailer for the upcoming film “The Dark Tower” debuted, showing us a first glimpse at the retelling of New York Times best-selling author Stephen King’s fantasy epic, Mashable reported.

The trailer, which you can watch below, shows the Gunslinger (Idris Elba) aligning with New York City boy Jake (Tom Taylor) as they try to stop the Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey) from destroying the Dark Tower, which could bring down both Earth and the fantasy planet Mid-World.

So, yeah, intense.

The film hits theaters on Aug. 4.
