Attention Susan Cooper Fans!

David Cunningham (The Path to 9/11) has been tapped to direct The Dark Is Rising, a fantasy film based on Susan Cooper’s book series, Variety reported.

Full story here (not horribly extensive, but it’s the reference.)

This could either go very well, or be very disappointing. As usual.

    As a rather huge Cooper fan (or at least of her Dark Is Rising Series), I say EEP!!

    I like the sound of Romania for the shoot because it sure looked good in Cold Mountain (although, really, there *must* still be green open spaces and deep, leafy forests in England still, no?), but everything else about this has me worried. Why not a British director? Hate to sound like a snob, here, but how hard could that be? And why not a sane director? (Only half joking.)

    Well, the cast had better be British. Too bad Nicolas Hoult, the kid from About a Boy, is such a big, strapping lad now, because he would have been perfect for Will. (Ooh! I’m feeling a need to play the Casting Game coming on!)
