Would love to check it out, but I'm prompted for a password. Can you tell us what the article says?

There's a bit here:

[Matt_13]

Looks very bizarre...not sure if I'll be seeing this one.

[Royal Dalton]

That CGI polar bear looks really good.

[DamnCoffee]

That CGI polar bear looks really good.

I noticed that too! , i feel this could be a fantastic movie - definatly on my list of 'must sees' this year.

[killkenny kid]

No thanks, just not my cup of earl grey.

[Fro]

Wow, they went in a way different direction than I expected with Bond 22.

[QWorm]

Wow, that was a great book, and with those actors it's gonna be a great movie too. Do you know who they are going to play?

[spynovelfan]

I loved Eva Green's stuff about her character not being your usual witch, she's more maternal, she's an equal of the wizard in this one and she breaks his heart, or whatever it was.

[marktmurphy]

Well, to be fair, Serifina is a goodie; so not your normal witch!

[archer1949]

I've never read these. I like fantasy (Tolkien and George RR Martin are among my favorites) if they are not to "Kiddiefied". I have heard of these, but not a lot. Are they worth a read?

And Ava Green Looks HOT flying around with that bow!

Cant wait for the movie and Craig's Lord Asriel.

Shame they took the American title of " The Golden Compass" and not the original "Northern Lights".

I hope it stays true to the book and series in general. I am re- reading the series at the moment.

DC is going to be in Cannes next week promoting this movie.

Journalists will also get to see some footage from it.

Really looking forward to this - the books are my 14 year old son's favourite books ever!

[marktmurphy]

I do prefer Northern Lights as a title, but Golden Compass does fit with the other titles in the series better (all being 'The Adjective Noun' in construction!).

Looks very nice, though its not my kind of thing. Interesting to see that Daniel Craig gets the special-guest-star style "and" billing. I think you can briefly see him sans beard at the end there.

[sharpshooter]

It looks fantastic! The book come to life!

Bring on the film. All star cast in there.

I'll see it, but more out of interest in Daniel Craig and Eva Green than in the subject material.

Agreed.

It's obvious (and certainly logical) that New Line is giving this film the Lord of the Rings treatment, but I wonder how far that will go to determining how successful it actually is.

[Bucky]

it looks good. im gonna try to get around to reading the book before i actually decide to see the movie.

[sharpshooter]

Reading the books are well worth it. Make sure you do get around to it

[marktmurphy]

I'm a bit disappointed at the design- Oxford seems to have been turned into a Star Wars version of a futuristic London, which seems a bit over the top to me. In the books it just seemed like a slightly different world, not a more futuristic one.

[00Twelve]

Nice...looks pretty kick to me! And I love some Sam Elliot. It's good to know that even in another world, he's still a gnarly hairlipped redneck.

[sharpshooter]

Agreed. The film will be good by the looks of it.

[marktmurphy]

Craig was just on Radio 1 talking about this film rather enthusiastically. You can listen again if you want- the Edith Bowman show at about 2.50pm.

[sharpshooter]

Really? Good on Craig, he does a film because he feels so strongly about the source material. He is the actor of our generation. All hail Craig!

[marktmurphy]

He's going to pop up in a report on GMTV tomorrow morning as well.

[Royal Dalton]

Yeah, he's doing promo work for it in Cannes at the moment.
