Ain’t It Cool News guru Harry Knowles reports from the set of The Dark Is Rising, the upcoming adaptation of Susan Cooper’s marvelous fantasy novel. A newcomer to the franchise, he’s come away from his read of the script and his visit to the set a believer. This makes me extremely optimistic about the prospects of one-third of my Extremly Highly Anticipated Adaptations Triumvirate (which also includes The Mist and The Midnight Meat Train.)
Lots of info and waxing enthusiastic and pictures–such as the one above, of Christopher Eccleston as the Rider–at the link.
