The Golden Compass (2007) #1

A teaser trailer jsut got released on yahoo. I love this book series so I hope the movie is good. The casting is great. I hope this movie becomes like "Narnia" and "Harry Potter" at the B.O.

Yay!

I have loved the series for years now and every time I saw a book series being made into a movie I would tell everyone 'You know what would make a great movie? Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials'. And in January I heard it would be turned into a movie, but now, seeing the poster and everything, I'm so excited I can't wait, seriously, I don't usually like these big-budget fantasy adaptations (didn't like Narnia), but this looks incredible.

To everyone who hasn't yet read the series, DO SO NOW. You won't regret it.

I'm so looking forward to this! I absolutely love His Dark Materials so I hope the movies do the books justice but from what I've seen so far it looks great!

I don't know. I didn't like the remake of Narnia (granted, I didn't like the book either), but Lord of the Rings has made me believe that translating book to screen can be done well I don't know, the books are so good so it's a hard act to follow. But it looks good, yeah.

Gwen, I didn't like the Narnia adaptation at all. But LOTR was so good so hopefully this will follow in that tradition.

I know what you mean about the kid's ages. With Lyra especially I think I imagine her as older than she should be.

What do you guys think of the casting? And should Nicole have dyed her hair?

Kat! I'm not the only one! Most people loved the adaptation of Narnia, so yes.

Well Lyra doesn't look too young to me, but she looks too clean. I always imagined her as a thin, grubby kid - Dakota Richards looks too clean and cute Nicole Kidman looks alright, Daniel Craig I don't know. I like him well enough, but he just seems odd. Eva Green as Serafina Pekkala looks okay, though. It's hard to say because I never really imagined how they'd look like when I read the series.

The first time I saw the cast photos, I thought to msyelf, 'Where's Will?' before I realised this is the first one and therefore has no Will yet

Jason Issacs would have been good in the role too.

I always pictured Lyra as a dirty little kid with no regard for her appearance. I wondered about Will too, for a minute there I love Will.

I hope they dont screw up the story...Narnia might not have been perfect but it was a million times better than Eragon. That was dreadful...oh god I hope they dont ruin it.

Mine was a SPIDER, ugh. I can't remember its name because I took that quiz awhile ago. Did you guys see that there are new character posters? Here's a link:

HEY YOU! Definitely read the books, especially the first -- they are amazing, extremely creative and surprising and emotional. They're my FAVOURITE!
