The
His Dark Materials movie is taking shape. The
award-winning children's series,
considered the "anti-Narnia", is due on the screen in 2007,
starring a actress found in open casting, along with Nicole Kidman (as Mrs. Coulter, for those who know the books). Unfortunately, the
screenplay by Tom Stoppard has been dumped, though the new one
appears to be to the author's liking. There is no official trailer yet, but there are several
more or
less painful fan-made ones. The series has also been made into a
successful play, and
a radio program. For those who haven't read it, an excerpt is
here; and for those that have, try the interactive
alethiometer or
find out your daemon's name. Previous discussion on the debate with the Archbishop of Canterbury was
here.
