David Cunningham to direct The Dark is Rising for Walden
Hmmm. I don't know that I like Walden's involvement... TDIR is a lot, well, darker than normal kid's fare, and I'm worried they'll strip that side out of it. Then again, they got the Blitz into Narnia, so what do I know.
Screenplay is by John Hodge. (Er... the best thing he did was Trainspotting, so maybe I shouldn't worry about this being dark enough).
And... David Cunningham? Director of The Path to 9-11 (TV movie)?????
Oh dear.
