Okay, I have to look up all those actors, cos I don’t know immediately who they are (British and all, I guess). Anyway, yeah, this is interesting. I guess with the success of the Narnia movie (which I didn’t see) and the HPotter movies (which I have seen), it’s inevitable that someone would go for The Dark is Rising.
I don’t know any of them either. They’re mostly new/unknowns. What has surprised me is that it’s taken this long to get around to The Dark is Rising.BTW, turtlebella, you might be interested in this: http://fusenumber8.blogspot.com/2007/02/behind-bridge.html
Nooo! I don’t want them to do that! Some books are just meant to be left as books. Like the Narnia books. HP I don’t mind because it’s so commercialized anyway, I think most contemporary writers write with a movie deal somewhere in their subconscious anyway (witness Uglies and Pretties, it’s so obvious there!) I saw Bridge to Terabithia last night–it was well done and I liked it much more than I expected to, but it was still unnecessary.
