Christopher Eccleston Joins Cast of The Dark is Rising
by Elisa
Pardon me while I permit myself a fangirl squee. Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who, Heroes) has been added to the cast of the upcoming filmed version of Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising. The news is all over the place, but here’s IGN’s article and the IMDB listing for the film. Eccleston will be playing “The Rider” (a villain). Now, I generally prefer to see him play a good guy, but I know that he will do a great job in this role. He brings such focus and depth to any character that he plays. I begin to have hope that they won’t screw up this film. (Don’t let me down WaldenMedia!)

I love this book I read it when I was 5th or 6th grade and everything else from that series. I think with Christopher in it that raises the bar, but it will all depend on who plays the child though.

Very true. I’m going to keep my fingers crossed.
