The Dark is Rising, a fantasy adventure about a boy who discovers that he is the last of a group of immortal warriors dedicated to the fighting against forces of the dark, will get an original score composed by Christophe Beck. The film is produced by Walden Media and Mark Platt Productions, directed by David L. Cunningham and stars Christopher Eccleston, Jonathan Jackson and Gregory Smith. The Dark is Rising based on a five-book young adult/high fantasy series by Susan Cooper originally published in the 1960s and 1970s; the series, based on the Arthurian mythos, depicts the struggle between the forces of good, called The Light, and the forces of evil, known as The Dark.
The film will premiere on September 26. Beck, noted for his evocative scores for Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Elektra, and The Skulls III, but also noted for his scores for comedies like Garfield, The Pink Panther, and Cheaper By The Dozen, also has the music for Drillbit Taylor and Licence to Wed coming up.
