John Hodge is an Oscar-nominated screenwriter best known for his collaborations with Danny Boyle on "Trainspotting" and "Shallow Grave." His latest film is the ambitious fantasy "The Dark is Rising." In an exclusive piece for MTV below, Hodge explains why he took on the project.

I wasn't going to do "The Dark Is Rising." It's not that I dislike fantasy but I wouldn't class myself as a devotee. The Potter books and films are obviously very good (that many people can't be wrong) but nothing is for everyone and they don't do it for me. But then I got to thinking about the story of DIR and it seems to me that the fantasy is not what it's about. It's about a boy finding his place in a large family, or more than that, starting to think about his place in the adult world in general. And once I found that perspective, I really wanted to do it.

Most actors get excited when talking about their upcoming projects, but none have ever been as "animated" as Gregory Smith, who will lend his voice talents to the stop-motion "Edison and Leo," where he will play the main character Leo, the 24-year-old "The Dark is Rising" star revealed exclusively to MTV News.

Just don't ask him to tell you who else is in it. "This was literally my first day today, and I was all by myself," he laughed when we caught up with him on Monday. "[I don't know.] I haven't even thought about talking about it!"

Likened by Smith to "A Nightmare Before Christmas," "Edison and Leo" has a plot that's "almost impossible to describe," he said. "It is about a character named George Edison, who is loosely based on Thomas Edison, and his relationship with his son, Leo," Smith explained. "His son is accidentally electrocuted as a child so he son grows up as Electric Boy. He can't touch anyone without electrocuting them, and that is sort of the set up for these zany, crazy adventures that follow." Read more...

Move over Percy Weasley - there's a new dark brother in town. After all, it's one thing to be a tool of the Minister of Magic, laughed "The Dark is Rising" star Gregory Smith, and quite another to be a tool of eternal evil itself. In our latest, exclusive update from "The Dark is Rising," Smith talked about his character Max's descent into the Dark Side, and how he battles, and his ultimately redeemed by, his younger brother Will, the last of the Old Ones.

Fantasy franchises sure are all the rage today, aren't they? And why not, when series like "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" walk away with Oscars and cash and sometimes, both?

Come this fall, there's a new budding franchise on the block that, like its predecessors, is based on a popular series of books. We haven't heard much about "The Dark is Rising" yet but this poster exclusive to MTV has our interest piqued with just the right amount of magic and mystery.
