The Golden Compass

[lazylen]

has anyone read the series of books? I know that the people in Europe probably hate the name they're giving it, saying that "The Northern Lights" sounds much better and all... but still...

anyone else pumped for this movie? :D

the books are so awesome. His Dark Materials rules. Just finished the trilogy a second time...


oh, and the golden compass does sound better... they couldnt just stick "the alethiometer" on the cover... thats not nearly as good as either of them. o_O

[OverMind]

Oh man, I read the Golden Compass a long time ago. They're making a movie?
*Quickly goes to wikipedia*

[lazylen]

yeah, and they've hired a great cast too...

I dont like the look of the girl they picked for Lyra though... :(

[limeygirl714]

i love the look of the movie apart from, the girl

[M3gaUltraChicken]

Yeah, the girl playing Lyra is nothing like in the book...

I'm worried that they might skip the whole religion thing from the book though, especially in The Amber Spyglass.

Sorry if I sound like a jackass, but I've never read the books. I'm a serious christian, and I hear they kill God in it. Would I still be intrested?

[screwedyules]

im a serious christian and i really like them. its more like The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe in its religioness, than anything else. as for the movie, im still reeling from The Seeker, a rekill of The Dark is Rising, so im going to pass on that.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I saw the Seeker. Not a bad book. Movie made me wat to claw out someone else's eyes. Not mine of course. That would just be silly. <img src='/images/emoticons/smiley1.png'>
