Oh please let it be fantastic
I saw them filming in Oxford - the crew said good things about the quality of the acting, but wouldn't tell us anything more than that

Sadly the Merkin studio execs have removed most of the religious stuff
for fear of offending stupid intolerent people.
I daresay they'll remove the underage sex from book three too.
IT'S POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GORN MAAAAD!

Oh piss have they?
Most of the point of the books is Pullman's absolutely fantastically eloquent contempt for religion.
I'll still go watch it. They deserve to be realy popular then, so people will go and buy the books

How the hell can they remove the religious stuff?
The baddy is God for fuck's sake. Are they going to replace him with Captain Evil or something? Also why the fuck is it the Golden Compass? Can Hollywood executives not understand the concept of Northern Lights, like they can't understand the concept of a Philosopher's Stone?
On a side note, I was in this film. Had to be a student for a big hallway scene. Was talking to the bloke next to me and unwittingly muttered 'I'd do er, mwuh hurr hurrr' at the same time as Nicole Kidman passed behind me, apparently she turned round and gave me an unnerved look.
Also I'm a gibbon.
