Christopher Eccleston to play the Rider in The Dark is Rising

Perfect casting for the Dark Rider. Don't like who they picked for Merriman, though. Merriman should be older and look more like Ian McKellen.

OH PLEASE, NOBLE COLLECTION, PICK UP THE SIX SIGNS OF LIGHT FOR LICENSING SO I CAN PUT THEM ON MY WALL KTHX.

Oh, I'm gonna have to keep track of this. I agree with you on Merriman; that's not how I pictured him at all.

He's described, always, as having wild hair and a craggy face. Current casting... just isn't that.

Cool!

Ian McShane's got the acting range for it - he can do very very creepy as well as charming - but I agree on the looks department. Maybe they'll give him a Saruman wig XD

Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised. McShane will have to put some grey in his hair, that's for sure.

I know. With The Golden Compass coming out and this in the pipeline, it's going to be books-I-love-gone-to-the-movies heaven. :D
