His Dark Materials Movies
Casting has started (presumably for "The Golden Compass")
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4805894.stm Hope they do a good job of it- and definitely hope "The Amber Spyglass" will be better than the book- what a letdown! Meanwhile, Pullman continues to say silly things about Lewis: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4347226.stm Last edited by GreyMouser : 04-15-2006 at 07:23 AM. |

His Dark Materials was certainly a brilliant trilogy. I too definitely hope the movies come close to that writing! Is Philip Pullman personally involved in the movie making?

I love the way the Article says Lion is the second in the series.

I totally disagree with that, but others don't- there's a whole thread on the C.S. Lewis forum about it- "The Real first and Presumed first" |

It'll be interesting to see how they treat the anti-religion stuff. My guess is that Pullman would not agree to it if he felt it was too watered down.

Hey, third reply down is from our own Attalus, Swan Knight of Dol Amroth.
Haven't heard from him for a while- sorely missed.
