CENTURY CITY, Calif. – Everything about Will Stanton’s life seemed pretty ordinary. Normal problems…typical family…but he is about to find out, he is anything but ordinary! Fox Home Entertainment and Walden Media presents the ultimate battle of good versus evil when the fantasy adventure The Seeker races through time to land on DVD March 18th. Based on Susan Cooper’s Newberry Award winning The Dark Is Rising book series, The Seeker stars young actor Alexander Ludwig (The Sandlot: Heading Home, Air Bud–World Pup) as Will Stanton, an average 14-year-old kid whose world is turned upside down after he learns he is the last of a group of ancient warriors who have dedicated their entire lives fighting the forces of The Dark. Will quickly finds himself on the journey of a lifetime discovering hidden magical powers, traveling through time and uncovering clues that will eventually lead him to a battle with beings of unimaginable power; with the fate of the entire world in his young hands!
Filled with magical characters, spectacular visual effects and thrilling fantasy adventures the whole family can enjoy, The Seeker features an impressive cast of film and television veterans including Golden Globeâ-winners Ian McShane (“Deadwood”) and Frances Conroy (“Six Feet Under”) as well as Gregory Smith (“Everwood”) and sci-fi fan favorite Christopher Eccleston (“Dr. Who,” “Heroes”). Winner of numerous family-friendly honors including the Kids First Seal of Approval, Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence and the Heartland Truly Moving Picture Award, The Seeker DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $29.98 U.S. / $43.48 Canada.
