His Dark Materials film

So, the trailer for 'Northern Lights' is finally out. It says a lot that despite the fact that it seems the filmakers are using the American title (Golden Compass *gag*), all I can think is SQUEEEEE!
Dear Gods, but that film looks amazing. Pullman's already dismissed one director due to differences of opinion (on which topic could that be? Hmmm *sarcasm*) so I'm guessing it's going to be pretty loyal. Nicole Kidman is a bit young for Mrs Coulter in my mind, but otherwise perfect, and dear Nuitari, that scene with the witches, I have got to see that. 

The special effects haven't been completed yet, and what they have isn't very good yet, so I'm reserving judgement on that point. The bears look good though, and I am so looking forward to the fight between Iorek and Iofur it's not even funny. It's my favourite chapter in the trilogy.

So much squee, this looks like it's going to be up there with LoTR for great films, but whereas I was never a fan of Tolkien, I love Phillip Pullman.
Between Joey and I, we're going to see if there is any chance, any at all that we can see go to the London premiere. My dad knows a few people in the movie industry, so if he can...

The trailer's here, by the way.

Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Serious or fun!
