New Line Cinema has released the teaser movie poster for their epic adaptation of The Golden Compass (sizzle reel, photos). Click on the image to see the poster in higher resolution.
Based on Philip Pullman’s bestselling and award-winning novel, His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass is New Line’s next huge $150 million fantasy epic adaptation.
The story follows the coming of age of Lyra Belacqua and Will Parry, as they “wander through a multiverse and a backdrop of epic events.” The books were marketed to children, but it has garnered a large adult readership. The story features fantasy elements such as gypsies, witches, and armoured bears.
Written and directed by Chris Weitz, His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass stars Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Sam Elliott, Ian McShane and Dakota Blue Richards. The movie and book are the first in a trilogy. The film opens on December 7th 2007.

Thanks for keeping us informed about The Golden Compass. Hmm, December 7th can’t get here soon enough. I’m a huge fan of the series and hope Weitz and his collaborators behind and in front of the cameras can do it justice (not sure if they can, but I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for now).

The poster looks fantastic. I’m a huge fan of the series and have been quite excited about the adaptation. The casting is brilliant! Nicole Kidman was born to play Mrs. Coulter and Daniel Craig is an inspiring Lord Asriel.

Im not a huge fan of the series….its horrible in my opinion! It is corrupting the souls of adults and children..Phillip Pullman is a horrible man for even considering writing and creating these movies. Christians will for sure back me up on this…God knows what you are doing and trust me he’s got a plan too! All this is, is a bunch of brain washing! Im going to continue to demote this movie and tell people not to go see it…I truly hope its not as a success as they hope.
