Re: Inspired by #1 - dream adaptations

I'll never shut up about wanting an animated adaption of The Dark is Rising by Cartoon Saloon, the studio that did Secret of Kells etc.

Oh, things I didn't know I needed until I needed them.

The Dark is Rising Sequence was my entire childhood and I will never stop wishing for an adaptation. (That rot they made before was NOT an adaptation.)

There is no adaption. There is no movie. I don't know what you're talking about. /sails bissfully down de nile

But yeah, I think the only way an adaption could work would be in animated format and since Cartoon Saloon have proven several times that they can really work with this particular mix of realistic and mythological topics I'd be carefully optimistic about this. But I don't feel like Susan Cooper would trust anyone to try their hands at an adaption again... I'm mainly scared of what might happen in terms of adaptions once she dies. Like, crappy grimdark Netflix shows or something. I mean, I'm not sure anything could beat the adaption-that-wasn't in terms of suck but I hope I'd never find out...

I wish she'd held tightly to her IP until it fell into the hands of her estate tbh. At least she would have been spared the indignity of what (never, never, ever) happened with it before. I mean, I feel like it could work as a Live Action series adaptation (it's far too complex for films, I mean WHAT)? But they would have to be very balanced since... it's not grimdark and is a children's story at heart.

I want my eleven-year-old nephew to read them because he loves fantasy but he never got much into King Arthur so I worry SO VERY MUCH would be lost on him, sadface.

See, I personally would prefer a low-budget, old-school(or similar) TV adaptation. Like 70s BBC vibes. Because one of my favorite parts about the Dark Is Rising series is the way that all of this mythological, fantastical stuff gets embedded in contemporary England and Wales. And I think a low-budget TV series would capture that much better in a way - the feeling of tangible reality. A cartoon series would be really good for the fantastical elements as well though and Cartoon Saloon's work is amazingly beautiful.
