His Dark Materials #1

Fans of His Dark Material, another fantastic trilogy, will be glad to here that progress is going swimmingly for the first movie, The Golden Compass (which many may know as Northern Lights). Locals in Sutton Bridge thought that movie crews which appeared in their village a short time ago where filming scenes from Harry Potter or the new James Bond flick. However it was revealed shortly after that it was the film crew of the first installment of the His Dark Materials trilogy. The scene featured Sutton Bridge opening and closing as a barge/canal boat sailed through.

And who is playing the evil Mrs. Coulter, none other than Aussie actor Nicole Kidman. Other actors include: Daniel Craig, as Lord Asriel, Eva Green as Serafina Perkkala and Adam Godley as the voice of Pantalaimon. Dakota Blue Richards will play Lyra.

The role of the Authority (God) and the negative representation of the Church, are to be changed, with Newline fearing a Christian backlash. Fans are outraged. The Director of the three films has alos disappointed fans, being Chris Weitz the same director in charge of American Pie.
