Movie Media: The Seeker: The Dark is Rising - Trailer
I had previously posted the poster for this film, and in the meantime it has gone through a minor title change. Originally it was called The Dark is Rising, but now they have added The Seeker onto the beginning. It is the latest fantasy tale to be translated to the big screen, and is sure to raise the ire of book fans. It is my understanding that it has been changed considerably in the adaptation process, and to the fans it is not for the better. I have no bias one way or the other, other than to say the trailer does not impress me all that much. There does not appear to be anything terribly special about it. Though it does look better than Eragon.

From the trailer I've just seen, they've taken a lot of the basis of the books and ripped them to shreds. They're using american characters and settings, when the entire series is tied into the merlin/avalon/arthur legends and old ways & pagan beliefs of britain.
Not impressed so far. In fact, not sure how the author / authors estate allowed it to me changed that much.
