2 Aug 2007 | The Golden Compass (the movie!)
I heard a rumor last year that Philip Pullman's children's novel, The Golden Compass, also known outside of the U.S. as Northern Lights, would soon be made into a film. Today, I found the official Web site and trailer.
Apparently, the film stars Dakota Blue Richards as Lyra, Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter, and Daniel Craig (you know him from Casino Royale) as Lord Asriel. Somehow I thought Mrs. Coulter had brown hair… but oh well! The production stills look reaaaally cool.

Hm, I didn't really have any interest in the movie when I first saw the trailer. But perhaps I missed the appeal since I never read the book. Or at least I don't remember reading it…Have you seen the Simpsons movie? I can't wait for Superbad. Gotta love those awkward teen moments movies.

Once upon a time I tried reading the book… but the movie certainly looks interesting.

Hmm, I've never read any Pullman books myself, but the movie does look very nice. ^^ Somehow it reminds me of Narnia, but perhaps with a more satisfying plot (not that I know the plot to speak of, hehe). XP
