Cool huh? I'd heard they were making a movie of it, but I didn't find out until yesterday that they had already filmed it and it's coming to theaters this December. I don't think there's an official trailer yet but there is a snippet of 'making of' footage that you can get a link to from http://www.Imdb.com along with a good bit of info about the film. So, any thoughts, comments, or predictions about the film?

From all the screenshots and everything, it looks really good. I hate the title though. Northern Lights is so much better. And no, I don't have a reason why. Don't question the logic, accept it!

Anyways, hopefully it will be good, it's made by the same studio as LOTR, so it should be up to that standard. I'm preparing myself for any disappointment though. It is annoying that theses films can only be about three hours long. They can't capture the essence of the book.
There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her to not be alive anymore.

Yes, Eva Green is a great choice for any film. *cough*

I do agree Northern Lights is a better name, because that's the *real* name of it, and not the publisher's choice.

Anyway, I can't wait for it.

Although the Northern Lights is a better name, The Golden Compass fits in with the sequals' names, which are both also named after an object.

I'm looking forwards to this movie - they better not mess it up. ;)
