Now that he’s got downtime from his dastardly Old West antics on HBO’s DEADWOOD, actor Ian McShane is switching sides to the good guys for a bit. McShane, perhaps most famous for using the term “cocksucker” more than practically anyone else in human history, will star in the Fox-Walden flick THE DARK IS RISING, which one can assume occurs shortly after it falls and then catches its breath, a-hyuck.
The fantasy film (based on the book series by Susan Cooper) revolves around a young man who learns he is destined to battle evil in a conflict that reaches epic proportions. McShane will play his profusely foul-mouthed (conjecture mine) mentor, and TV regular David L. Cunningham (of the hilariously biased THE PATH TO 9/11) is directing. Shooting will take place in Romania, now known for its inexpensive but effective film crews and prostitutes.
