Susan Cooper speaks out (a little) on the new movie "based" (and I use that word reluctantly) on her book, "The Dark is Rising." The link goes to an NPR article which includes a link to Ms. Cooper reading an excerpt from the book.
From the article: "You do have to do violence to a book to make it into a screenplay — the two mediums are so different," Cooper says. "But the alteration is so enormous in this case. It is just different."
I'm definitely going to avoid this movie like the plague. The audio version of the article noted that Walden Media has recently removed "The Dark Is Rising" from the title, and are just calling it "The Seeker" now. Gee, I wonder why?
