nmoira Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I just stumbled across this on IMDB. Anyone have any info?Oh my. After the Dark is Rising, I've about lost faith in movie adaptations. I hope they don't mess this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooh bear Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 It looks like the lead guy is from Alabama. I hope he has a few lessons on learning to speak with a different accent. I have nothing against a Southern US accent, but hearing a Roman solider with a Southern drawl will just not cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, for example, all the Romans had Southern American accents and the Brits had (some form of) British accents, it might make for an interesting contrast..

abbeyej Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Well, if the director's anything to go by, I'll expect at least an *intelligent* adaptation, so that makes me happy! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Q Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I don't know whether to squee with delight or be very very afraid. Rosemary Sutcliff is one of my favorite writers. I hope they don't mess it up. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
