The Golden Compass
I had originally intended to write my "Book to Film" segment on The Golden Compass tonight but New Line had to step in and release an entire batch of movie stills for the film. Are we upset? Heck no! But none of these stills look like they have any dust on them. Where's the dust!
Movie Stills: 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.
When we say a batch of stills we mean an armored bear worth. Here is the first dose of them below:

Like what you see? Well, we have a bunch more coming shortly!
I did find one problem however. This film is all about daemons, but there isn't a single one in the pictures. What the dust is going on! There is where you say: "But Ryan, the film doesn't come out until November, maybe they will be digitally inserted later."
Yeah, you are probably right.
Expect our "Book to Film" analysis by er, the end of the weekend.
The Golden Compass opens to theatres on November 16th, 2007.
