Eccleston Joins Dark Cast

Christopher Eccleston (Heroes) and Gregory Smith have joined the cast of The Dark Is Rising, 20th Century Fox and Walden Media's adaptation of Susan Cooper's best-selling fantasy books, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Marc Platt and Ron Schmidt are producing the picture, which is being helmed by David L. Cunningham.

Dark tells the story of a teenager (newcomer Alexander Ludwig) who learns that he is the last of a group of warriors who have dedicated their lives to fighting the forces of the dark. Traveling back and forth through time, he hunts for clues while encountering the forces of evil and discovers that the future of the world rests in his hands.

Eccleston (Doctor Who) is playing the movie's villain, the Rider. Smith is playing the teen's older brother, an edgy young man with piercings and tattoos who questions their father's authority.

Also in the cast are Amelia Warner (Aeon Flux), Emma Lockhart (Batman Begins), Gary Entin, Edmund Entin, Jonathan Jackson and John Benjamin Hickey. Ian McShane and Frances Conroy have already been cast. The movie is slated to begin filming Feb. 26 in Romania.

Eccleston is currently stealing scenes as an invisible man on NBC's Heroes.

Have the possible regeneration rumors been getting stronger or should those rumors be ignored now?

Just wondering.

Ignored I should think. If it was official, then the BBC website would have the news, as would Outpost Gallifrey.

[Metarock Sam]

Yeah its best not to bother with the regeneration rumours. I prefer the Master rumours instead. They are more plausable

Didn't they keep Eccleston's departure quiet for a while?


That said, Tennant has seemed positive in all the interviews I've seen.

[Easter Lily]

Didn't I read somewhere that Tennant wants to beat Tom Baker's record?

[Metarock Sam]

Well we know he would like to beat it, at the end of the day its up to the Producers and Executive Producers of the show whether they want to keep him. Fingers crossed we will at least get one more seasonout of him after this one. That would be awesome. Also they should NOT end up regenerating him mid season. It just wouldnt work.

Why wouldn't they though? From all accounts, he's such an amiable ambassador for the show. He's gone above and beyond the call of duty to promote the show. He's something of a fanboy and has proven to be a popular replacement despite from slippery writing in S2.
They would be mad not to keep him as long as they can.
