| | I read all three volumes of His Dark Materials in a week - couldn't put them down. However, I have my doubts as to whether I'll be satisfied with the film, mainly because of what I've read regarding the toning down of the anti - Catholic sentiments of the books. Nicole Kidman would seem to be ideal casting for the role of Mrs Coulter, as I've always thought of her as having a rather cold personality. As for the rest, I guess I'll just have to wait and see and hope that they do one of my favo More Posted by siegfried at 04:40, 16 December 2007 | Report This Post | | | | | RE: RE: | | L: samthemanc
I absolutely love the trilogy, it's so imaginative. Pissed off they're keeping the Yank title for us brits but can't wait to see he film. I know i'll be annoyed by Iofer being renamed as there's no point and i don't get why they appear to have made Iorek's armour Gold. se are small concerns.

I do reallly have a soft fpot for the books, but am still worried about how it's gonna translate onto scree, and what parts, if any, they are goin to chop out. It's quite a heavy novel with heavy themes and by no means a kids book, quite brutal in parts with younglings dying and such, I only hope they dont "kiddiefy" it too much.

I loved the books/story and think the guys in charge of the film version are doing a cracking job, from what ive seen. I would've done a few things different myself, yeah, design wise, but thats cause im a designer and illustrated the book myself in uni. I always thought of it being very victorian in appearance, the Bears in Samurai-style plated metal armour, the Zepplins looking exactly like Hindenburg (just traditional white canvas) and of Azriel as a Jame More Posted by jimoakley666 at 15:25, 05 June 2007 | Report This Post | | | | | RE: RE: | | Good point. I guess they do want to see how it does first. On a seperate note i would love to see films made of The Belgariad by David Eddings. Superb books.

There would probably have been more news about the others and i guess they want to make sure it does well at the box office? I could be wrong however!
There is a little behind the scenes thing at aintitcool today. Kind of just looks like the behind the scenes of the new trailer.
