Re: First Time You Discovered This Phenomenon?

The Seeker: Dark is Rising was the absolute worst movie adaptation of a book I've seen. They changed everything, from the Will's age to his parents' names. Why does it even matter what their names are? It also made Will American, rather than British, and of course, gave him a girlfriend - probably the reason they aged him up a bit, but Will in the books never really cared about any of that. Also, he got a twin brother out of thin air, literally, for no real purpose I could see, except making his loving parents in the book into cold, heartbroken people. FOR THE ANGST.

Usually, movie adaptations are at least amusing on their own, if not always solid representations of the media they were originally inspired by, but this was just a travesty. Susan Cooper even said they couldn't plainly call it The Dark is Rising, because they'd butchered her books so much, so they changed it to The Seeker.

It's not a popular series, I don't think, but I hope one day it'll get a better remake. And maybe Bran will be in it, this time. I had such a crush on Bran when we were both eleven!
