Fans of Susan Cooper’s The Dark Is Rising series may have heard there is a movie to be released in October that is supposedly based on the 2nd book. It may sound interesting at first, but I have seen a recent preview, and it is nothing like The Dark Is Rising. There are also reviews by people who have seen more clips, and they go in depth into the differences. The preview looks like one violent scene after another with no substance to the story. I doubt I will even want to see the movie despite the series being one of my favorites.
