His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass
Looks like we are having another book-to-film film. This time its Philip Pullman's classic The Golden Compass (AKA Northen Lights). Sam Mendes (American Beauty) will be directing. Daniel Craig, Ian McShane and Nicole Kidman are going to be appearing. What are your thoughts on this?

This looks promising! I only read the first book (the Compass book), and got like halfway through the second one. So yeah, I might check this out.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
Hmm. I read all the books, and to my own susprise, I quite liked them. I just know the films will suck, though.

i believe the books title is Northern Lights (aka The Golden Compass WTS!?) anyway ive heard they arent going to include the theme of religion in it so its gonna be nothing really
The American version is the Golden Compass, its also known as the Northern Lights. Personally I prefer Northern Lights.
it's a much better name
I am looking forward to this.And Northern Lights > Golden Compass!
Golden Compass ROFL (to be read roff-uhl). What a stupid name. What's the point of changing the title when it's still in bloody English anyway? Woops....
I'm looking forward to it, but after the failures that were the Harry Potter movies, and The Da Vinci code...I'm not getting my hopes too high. But you can't make a catastrophe out of that film, surely? SURELY?

Exactly. Unless you were trying to contradict me.
I was agreeing with you.
Apparently (according to Philip Pullman) it was the same person who was responsible for renaming Harry Potter who renamed Northern Lights.Originally Posted by Zeromus_X

If I was American, I'd be insulted by the fact that someone needs to change a title of an already English book.
