The Golden Compass Movie Poster

Last June, New Line Cinema announced it was making the next fantasy epic. In January we brought you the first photos from the movie. And now we have the theatrical movie poster courtesy of LatinoReview, direct from ShoWest. As always, give a click for a larger view.

Based on Philip Pullman's bestselling and award-winning novel, His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass is New Line's next huge fantasy epic adaptation. The reported $150 million pricetag makes it the studio's biggest-budget project since The Lord of the Rings.

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.
