The Dark is Rising movie?!


Question:

The Dark is Rising movie?

Just saw the trailer, anyone else pumped about this movie? Those books were like Harry Potter to kids 20 years ago.


Answers:

According to the Internet Movie Database and an article in Variety,[1] the first movie will be called The Dark Is Rising and will be a joint venture between 20th Century Fox and Walden Media. John Hodge is writing the screenplay, and the film will be directed by David L. Cunningham and produced by Marc E. Platt. Ian McShane is set to play the role of Merriman Lyon while Alexander Ludwig will play Will Stanton. Frances Conroy and Christopher Eccleston (as The Rider)[2] also star. The release is tentatively scheduled for 2007 for the U.S. and the U.K. Filming began in February 2007 in Bucharest, Romania.

The planned film diverges from the book on several key points, the introduction of fourteen year-old, American Will Stanton and the decision to include a brother of Will's as a potential "Judas" character among them.
