Norma Reedus Joining the Dark Tower?

Despite the possibility of The Dark Tower going into turnaround, it does seem that casting was in full swing (at least until this weekend) as a new casting rumor has popped up. The IMDB page for Norman Reedus (Walking Dead) has him listed as "Eddie Dean" a major character from the book series. Now normally IMDB is notoriously wrong about information on films while they are in pre-production since it is user generated content but in this case his response of "no comment" to MTV indicates that he at least auditioned for the role. Sadly the news doesn't really matter until another studio steps up to relieve Comcast of the financial burden of making the films.
