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.

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.
I heard they were gonna dowplay the ani-religious stuff for the 1st movie. I guess they can get away with it for now, but they'll have serious troubles adapting the 3rd book where they basically....
HUGE SPOILER
Kill the authority, who proclaims to be God

You know that there's spoiler tags on here, right?
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.
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.

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've yet to read any of the books, but the film does look rather excellent and a nice cast too. To the people who have read the books, are you happy with the casting?
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.
