Why, yes, I am a raving fangirl. Why do you ask?

Apparently 20th Century Fox is making a movie of The Dark Is Rising, beginning filming later this month and due for release in late September.  Given the mixed track record of recent adaptations (*coughEarthseacough*), I'm not sure if I should look forward to it, since there's every chance they could screw it up big time.

However, I do note that they've cast Christopher Eccleston as The Rider.

Christopher Eccleston.

As The Rider.

You've never read The Dark Is Rising??

I'm agog.

Never heard of it 'til today.

But it looks like I would have luuuuurved it 20-25 years ago.

(You have no idea how much it pains me to say that.)

You could still love it now... I reread mine about once every couple of years.

I'd second the recommendation; it's a good series, and this particular book is excellent.

Also, agog. (I'm not necessarily agog, but I just wanted to say "agog" again.)

Goga.
