I'm nervously excited about The Dark is Rising. I'm already trying to mentally cast Merriman, Hawkin, and the Dark Rider. A younger Julian Sands would make a good Rider.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

If I only had a brain...
Oh, Merriman is easy-peasy. Ian McKellen. AGAIN.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That's the answer I kept coming up with. It's like Sir Ian has become the default "elderly British magical dude." I'd kinda like to see someone else.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never read the books, but I'd like to see Ian play the role. I just want to see him in everything. Doubt he'd want to, from what I've heard, though.

Hey. New board.
I'm not sure I want him as Merriman. I'm sure he'd do an excellent job, but there are plenty of other people out there that would as well, and I approve of keepnig my fantasy world out of conflict - Gandalf as Magneto is already confusing enough.
How about Anthony Hopkins?

Is Ian Richardson still around? He'd be good if he is.

I've been singing "So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish," and the Talking Heads' "And She Was" all day long, interspersed with the ocassional humming of "Journey of the Sorcerer."
Sadly, no one has asked me why I'm humming these things. Losers.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hey, Sean, why are you humming those things?

Because they all relate (two directly, one indirectly) to my favorite movie so far this year.
