This makes me think of I Know What you Did Last Summer.  The author, 
Lois Duncan, wrote a long letter on her website stating her 
frustration with the movie version.  It seems that when she signed 
away the movie rights, she *really* signed them away.

The only thing that stayed the same in that movie is the title and the 
names of the four main characters.  They changed locations, ages, time 
of year, who got killed, how they got killed, why they got killed, how 
people reacted, and what happened after.  Oh, and they added a 
fisherman in foul weather gear with a hook.  I love to tell my 
students that I've both read the book and seen the movie and I will 
know by their book report whether they read or watched.

Let's hope there are no hook-handed fishermen in Dark is Rising.
