Though we still have over a year before The Golden Compass opens to theatres, New Line Cinema is far enough along to deliver the first official movie still for the film.
First The Golden Compass Still
Based on the bestselling Philip Pullman novels, the "His Dark Materials" trilogy is comprised of The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass. It revolves around a young girl who travels to the far north to save her best friend. Along the way she encounters shape-shifting creatures, witches, and a variety of otherworldly characters in parallel universes.
The good people over at CBBC Newsround have gotten their hands on the first movie still for The Golden Compass. Back in June we announced that New Line was hoping to find the next 'Dakota' with Dakota Blue Richards and now we have our first preview of the young actress up against none other than Nicole Kidman.

With New Line Cinema looking for their next Lord of the Rings we had mentioned that The Golden Compass could be the kickoff to such a franchise. Though every studio is currently working on at least one fantastical franchise, The Golden Compasshas been predicted to be the most likely to reach Lord status.
We are still rooting for other projects including Eragon.
The Golden Compass opens to theatres on November 16th, 2007.
