The Golden Compass
Have anyone seen the trailer?
I cannot wait til its released. My favourite trilogy of all time is finally being adapted. My only fear is the anti-religious stuff being downplayed for the american audience.

Christ, talking polar bears? It looks good, but I hope the anti religious stuff is downplayed for me, because I'm an American.
Sorry, i didnt mean it like that. I meant the more strict christian audience who would be offended by it. Shouldnt have generalised like that.

They played the trailer when you saw POTC3? This was the one movie I was really HOPING to see a trailer for when I went to see it and they didn't show it. Lame.
Anyway, I can't wait for this movie, though as with all book adaptations I am slightly wary about it - I adore the His Dark Materials trilogy and only hope they stay as close to the books as possible.
You know that there's spoiler tags on here, right? ermm
And I don't think they really CAN downplay that much. Though the anti-religious stuff wasn't quite as present in the first book as it was in the second and third, anyway.
Plus I don't see why they should. If people don't like it, deal. I don't see why the whiny minority should be pandered to.
Just found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NOOXHLpdww&eurl=
the prodoction footage of the movie. I hope this movie lives up to the book

Have you read the books? The whole theme of this trilogy is how organised religion can be corrupt and be used to opress a society for their own needs. The anit-religios tones arent really as aparent in the 1st book, but it reaks of anti-religiousness in the 3rd book. Thats i why i said, that if they downplay the religious aspects, they basically cant make the 3rd movie.

Why, oh why, is the first installment called the Golden Compass?
Its the american name for the northen lights. I've also noticed they've taken out the "his dark materials" bit out of the name. Its like taking the "lord of the rings" name out of, well, lord of the rings. o😒

I guess I should have known, but what is it with childrens literature adaptations having their names changed? especially for much weaker substitutes.
The Philosopher's Stone > The Sorcerer's Stone
The Northern Lights > The Golden Compass (what does this mean for the title The Amber Spyglass?)

I think it'll only happen for this one. The book's title changed when it went to america. Aperently, the original title for the trilogy was the Golden Compasses, and thats how he sent it to the publishers at the states, but then he changed it to his dark materials later. But the publishers from america thought the golden compass was the title of the first book, so it stuck.
