The World
Dark Rising has taken us all over the world, two worlds in fact, but has had several key locations. Filmed primarily in Northern Ontario the crew of Dark Rising is always ready to travel.
Dark Rising: Bring Your Battle Axe takes place, simply, in the woods. Just outside of Summer's undisclosed home town is where Jason first assembles his friends for a camping trip in a feeble attempt to reunite with ex-fiancee, now Lesbian, Jasmine. The film itself was shot, in large, at the home of Executive Producer Mihkel Harilaid in Claremont, Ontario.
Dark Rising: The Savage Tales of Summer Vale and Dark Rising: Summer Strikes Back also both take place within this town. Anyone from the area though might notice some similarities between this town and North Bay, a city in Northern Ontario.
Dark Rising: Warrior of Worlds however has swayed the crew to branch out, featuring numerous scenes set and shot in beautiful Paris, France. The series is still in production and only preliminary shooting has taken place but several future locations include Cuba, Thailand, and a return to Paris. The bulk of the series has been set in Nickel City though, played by Sudbury, Ontario.
All of these locations have one things in common, they serve as the perfect backdrop to a global war being waged between Humans and Demons. Scenery aside it should be kept in mind that, within the worlds of Dark Rising there is a battle being fought on all fronts. The Demons, separated from our Earth and given their own long ago, forever torment Humanity and retreat to the solace of the shadows. Their single greatest advantage is that mankind doesn't even know they exist. Some would even go so far as to argue their non-existence, lending an unknowing hand to the Demon war effort.
Using the world as a setting, "as is", allows Dark Rising to maintain a great sense of realism all while carrying out fantastic supernatural storylines. Anything unnatural is explained with magic and anything unseen by the populous is because of the work of a series of Emitters, magical arrays which prevent anything supernatural from being seen by anyone who hasn't been awakened.
The world of Dark Rising is real and unforgiving, people live and die here. It is only by ingenuity and perseverance that one can hope to survive.

Famous quotes containing the words the world and/or world:
“And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if ... there weren’t any other people living in the world.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
“So close is the bond between man and woman that you can not raise one without lifting the other. The world can not move ahead without woman’s sharing in the movement, and to help give a right impetus to that movement is woman’s highest privilege.”
—Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
“The extent to which a parent is able to see a child’s world through that child’s eyes depends very much on the parent’s ability to appreciate the differences between herself and her child and to respect those differences. Your own children need you to accept them for who they are, not who you would like them to be.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
