Hadn't read the Dark is Rising in a quite a while, but I was planning on doing some illustrations from some scenes from my favorite fantasy books (ironically enough according to imdb there's a Elf stones of Shannara movie in the works) and decided to google around for some quotes on the dark is rising until I could get my hands on a copy (the local public library and my university library don't have a copy -.-;; ). And I ran into this horrific trailer. It's good to her there are people that are as disgusted as I am, most of the time I've run into the typical "bah you're just overreacting as a fan" bs. There was even a guy who compared me to the transformers fan during the time when that movie was coming out. And good lord, Mcshane must be dense. Even with the crumbling state of US education the dark is rising is commonly read as a part of the summer reading selection by fourth graders. What the hell does he mean by '70s' stuff mean even? If they screw up the Shannara series (or God knows what other classic they get their claws on) too I'm gonna stop watching movies and hide under a rock.
