Golden Compass
Yahoo! has a full page up, including a theatrical trailer for The Golden Compass. It’s funny to see Eva Green and Daniel Craig in another movie together so soon. This book was so, so good, but I find myself worrying just what they’ll cut out. It’s likely that the subtleties of adolescent sexual awakening will be largely subsumed by the adventure story, but that’s a shame. The whole series hinges on sexual awakening, the concept of sin, individualism, and authoritarianism.
If they make it through the series-as-movie run, here’s hoping that they let the small, sweet moments of the books make the large impacts they’re supposed to.
