The good folks over at Slashfilm have posted up a bunch of new pics from the upcoming fantasy film The Golden Compass. Go see more of them over here.
For those of you who don’t know anything about The Golden Compass, here’s a synopsis from IMDB:
Lyra Belaqua, living in Oxford’s Jordan College, is not but a young girl living among scholars. Her world may seem diverse, from physical embodiments of souls that take the shape of an animal, but similar with people around you to become friends and enemies. She is thrown into a perilous adventure when she overhears a conversation of an extraordinary microscopic particle, Dust. This particle is said to unite different worlds, and is feared by many who want to destroy it forever. As Lyra is flung into the middle of this horrible struggle, she meets wondrous creatures both big and small, and villains who are not what they seem. Gobblers, that kidnap children, will turn out in the most unexpected places. And a magical compass of gold that will answer any question if one is skilled enough to read it. Lyra’s adventure continues throughout these three books, and the first is about to be told.
i think that they should have the guy who played elrond in lord o the rings to be asriel
I have been waiting for this movie for a while and the teaser looks fantastic. The casting of Kidman, Craig, Green and Richards looks to be right on the money. I would like to recommend, if I may, that all Read the Book before seeing the movie as the story is not a lightweight one; this is high shelf literature and a wonderful story. Enjoy!
i love nicole kidman, she’s just stunning!
Wow, Daniel Graig sure looks weird with a beard.
I’m beyond excited to see this.
Ugh, I can’t believe they got Daniel Craig for that role. He’s got blond hair! How could this ever work…
Sorry I couldn’t help myself. ;)
That sounds like an intersting premise, but the description is oddly worded and kind of difficult to follow. Though I must say, I am curious.
