But someone's leaked the casting call for the new Dark is Rising movie, tentatively scheduled for release in September '07, and it's pretty depressing.
One of the whole points of the book is that Will is fighting to save his lovable, sweet, normal, caring, _English_ family. Not to mention, he's the youngest. And who thought a September release of a movie that's _all about Christmas_ was a good idea?
In other, semi-related news, the APA (my classics convention) is putting on a big panel next year on Classics and Comics. I feel like I really ought to submit something. Two items mentioned where they're looking for papers are Classics and Sandman and Classical narratives in manga. Anyone got any good ideas or directions to point me towards on those topics? (We're looking for a 20 minute paper worth of idea, here.) Deadline is Feb 5th.
