"I need to go North! To fight!"

 

His Dark Materials, a series of young adult novels by author Phillip Pullman are some of the most imaginative, amazing books to come along in a long time. And now, they are coming to a theatre near you. Starring Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman, if the film is half as beautiful and as exciting as the movies, then we all definitely have something to look forward to.

Have You Read the Books? 

If not, you must. If you are a Harry Potter fan, this will definitely replace the hole left behind by those books. These books are much more cerebral however. Full of allegory and vivid descriptions. Lyra, the main character, is a much more selfish (and more real, honestly) child than Harry. I'm sure that people are sick of all fantasy YA books being compared to Potter, but I find that many people find there way to more fantasy (both YA and adult) through Potter.

Golden Compass Poster 

There are several one sheets out right now, but this is my favorite. I think it's just beautiful.

More Images From the Film 

So far, this film is proving to be one of the most beautiful I've seen in awhile. The imagery is stunning. It truly brings the book to life.

What would your Daemon be? 

In the Dark Materials series, the humans have a Daemon, an animal companion which is a physical manifestation of their soul. As children, daemon's have the ability to change, but once a child is of age to know right from wrong, the daemon changes into a permanent manifestation that mirrors the personality of its owner.

While there, you can take a test to see what your daemon would be. Click "meet your daemon." There is sound on this page, so make sure your speakers aren't exceptionally loud, but the music is quite haunting and beautiful.
