The Golden Compass
Fantasy-film aficionados have another big one to look forward to
come December 2007 with the arrival of His Dark Materials: The
Golden Compass. For the uninitiated, The Golden Compass is an
adaptation of Philip Pullmans childrens book Dark Materials: The
Golden Compass.
Fantastical in nature, Pullmans book weaves a remarkable tale
about a young orphan girl named Lyra. The girl grows up on Oxford
Universitys campus, but her world, while parallel to ours, is
markedly different since it is ruled by a fascinating amalgamation
of science, theology and magic.
One can easily draw comparisons between The Golden Compass and The
Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe; however, the source material for
The Golden Compass is distinctly darker in nature, which might
explain why The Golden Compass has a broader audience.
