I might have to break down and watch The Dark is Rising movie, regardless of the Americanization of the Stantons.
The parts of the Black Rider and Merriman Lyon have been cast.
Christopher Eccleston (swoon) and Ian McShane (having a hard time imagining Al Swearengen as Merlin, but I'm so totally willing to give it a go).
Thanks to La Fuse for the link.
I had no idea a movie version of The Dark is Rising was in the works -- that series is one of my absolute favorites. Hopefully the Americanization of the Stantons won't be too jarring.

I do have a problem with Americanizing this. The Arthurian legends are, after all, kind of British. Arthur being the King of England and all.
Oh, well, one can always go back and read the book again.

Gregory Smith is in it. That's points on the plus side, too!

Wait...they're Americanizing it? What? American Stantons in England? Or set in America? Wrong, either way.
But...Christopher Eccleston. If the Dark Rider couldn't be Ewan McGregor I'll take Christopher Eccleston. Yup, it's time to watch "Jude" again. Swoon indeed.
