The Dark is Rising
Refreshing change! I know this sounds kind of dick, but The Dark is Rising will be one of the first big-production fantasies that I will see with low expectations. Not that this is exactly a bad thing, as I am hoping that the film will be one of those refreshing surprises.

Based on the acclaimed novel by Susan Cooper, The Dark Is Rising is the first film adaptation of the author's acclaimed "The Dark Is Rising" Sequence. The film tells the story of Will Stanton, a young man who learns he is the last of a group of warriors who have dedicated their lives to fighting the forces of the Dark. Traveling back and forth through time, Will hunts for a series of mysterious clues and encounters forces of unimaginable evil. With the Dark once again rising, the future of the world rests in Will's hands.

The Dark is Rising is one of the few books I have read that left me feeling, "meh"; hence my early negative outlook on the project. I know one thing for certain, Fox will have to spice up some elements to the story to the film into a blockbuster.
The Dark is Rising opens to theatres on
October 5th.
