I’m starting to think that The Dark is Rising is a bad title for this film. After all, it seems like a pretty light family friendly adventure. The current title made me expect something a little darker and at least a little more epic.
Anyway, this doesn’t look good at all. It reminds me of nothing as much as Eragon, which I didn’t actually see, but still feel very confident in saying it was really bad. As far as the kid encounters parallel universe genre goes, I’m much more interested in Spiderwick Chronicles.
