Movie Media: The Golden Compass - Poster, Trailer

"In 2001, New Line opened the door to Middle-Earth, this December they take you on another epic journey..." And so begins the trailer for The Golden Compass, the first part of the His Dark Materials cycle. With the success that fantasy has had in the November/December frame with Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, it looks like New Line wants to keep it going. This is definitely fantasy, but it fortunately looks distinctly different than those other films. It is a fantastical world that I look forward to seeing more of. It has a good cast including Nicole Kidman, Sam Elliot, Dakota Blue Richards, Eva Green, and Daniel Craig. The poster below has four other variants which are the four quadrants broken into separate images. This looks like it will be good. One can hope.
