New Line Cinema has launched the official
site for the upcoming adaptation of The
Golden Compass and it comes packed with flash menus containing
a small array of goodies including some cool conceptual art.
Official Site: The Golden Compass
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.
Besides conceptual art and synopsis, the official site for The Golden
Compass also has its very own flash version of the Alethiometer,
the same device that can tell you just about anything you want to know.
That is, if you can read the damn thing.
If you are looking for production photos, be sure
to check out "About the Film." There is an automated slideshow
that goes through a series of round production photos.
