His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass

“It is the Alethiometer. It tells the truth. As for how to read it, you’ll have to learn by yourself.”

New Line Cinema, the company that made The Lord of the Lings movie, is at it again. Further building their reputation for fantasy films, they’ll soon be releasing a movie based on Phillip Pullman’s The Golden Compass.

When I was at the movie theater, waiting for a matinée of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 to start, I was surprised to see the trailer for The Golden Compass. Unaware that a movie was being made, I had been just about ready to start reading the book.

The trailer was amazing, living up to the standards of Lord of the Rings. You can view it at IMDB.

The book was pretty good (I just finished reading it yesterday), and the movie looks like it’ll be just as good. We’ll see in December, I guess.
