Fan Casting Joan Chambers in Ron Howard's Dark Tower: The Gunslinger

Jake's mother, a worn-down woman struggling to hold her life together after the death of her first husband—a 9/11 hero. She loves Jake but cannot understand his visions, fearing they are symptoms of a breakdown. She remarried a man who treats Jake like a problem, and she finds herself trapped between protecting her son and keeping her household from crumbling. When Jake runs away, she is left with nothing but guilt and the shattered pieces of a family she could not save.
