"After everything else that's happened," he says, "I have no idea what's going to come next. This has been such a roller-coaster ride. It was the opportunity of a lifetime."
The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising, which co-stars Wendy Crewson, Ian McShane and Christopher Eccleston, is based on the award-winning novel by Susan Cooper. Ludwig plays the central character, a boy who discovers his crucial role in a fight between the powers of good and evil. The movie was filmed in Romania, and that, says Ludwig, was an eye-opener.
"For people who had so little, they wanted to give so much," says the young actor. "To visit this place that's just recently come out of the communist era -- you really learn how much we have in North America. You really appreciate life here."
