So the trailer for the first movie is up. Apparently, instead of calling it "The Dark is Rising," which was the name of the book, they're going with "The Seeker." Idon't care, just clarifying.

This is the second book, but the first one that was written with a series in mind. It focuses on Will Stanton, who discovers he is part of a war between the dark and the light. He's an "old one" who is set to seek out six signs to combat the dark.

The trailer can be viewed at www.seekthesigns.com though it's small. Can probably find a better source. It looks close to the book in many ways, though the part of the Rider seems to have been extended. The Rider is played by Chris Eccleston from Doctor Who (And Heroes).

I hope they don't fuck this up by making it into a "kid with an attitude" movie.

Movie looks alright but the trailer looks horrible...

And for some reason Im getting an Eragon vibe off of this....

Eragon's trailers were worse. This is good except for one or two lines.
