The First Photos from The Dark Is Rising Film
over at Cinematical.
My first impression? Will is so . . . blond. I think the first image is supposed to be Will’s sister Mary, though, , they’re calling her Gwen (some sister condensation going on).
I was assuming that the man with the dark beard was Hawkin, but, after reviewing the cast list, I think he’s actually as Merriman Lyon, which is kind of disappointing. He’s not nearly tall enough, and his hair and beard should be white!
Apparently is 25, which seems like a poor choice. How can he convey the bitterness and world-weariness of someone who has borne a burden for centuries?
On the other hand, is looking very suitably sinister as the Rider. I suspect that he’ll be a joy to watch, no matter what the rest of the movie is like.
