The Hottest Man In the Known Universe Joins the Dark Is Rising Cast

Yeah. Well. He does.

Apparently Christopher Eccleston (I love him for Shallow Grave and you love him for Heroes or Dr. Who) is going to play the Black Rider in the upcoming filmed version of The Dark Is Rising. Cinematical has the scoop on the full cast and how you might know them. Quick question for you, though: How exactly do you feel about Ian McShane playing Merriman? I mean, great actor. No contest. But a youngish Merriman ... I kinda like it.

Thanks to Cinematical for the link.
