His Dark Materials Set Pics

I’m not worried about The Golden Compass. I dread it, like some sort of apocalyptic event. I feel like Bruce Willis in 12 Monkeys only able to gibber and point to the impending cataclysm while people look at me as though I’m insane. Well you won’t think I’m crazy when people start dying next year.

Phillip Pullman’s "His Dark Materials" Trilogy was a stunning achievement. Epic in scope, rich in imagination, and with a darker outlook then most “Adult” fiction, it was truly something special. Now of course this beautiful butterfly will be killed with formaldehyde and pinned to piece of cardboard.

Enjoy your first look at the non-God killing, church loving, His Dark Materials in the form of pics from the set, courtesy of the BBC. See them here.

Yet you keep coming back. I guess we're doing something right.

I suppose we could pretend the entire world is sugar plums and roses, but it isn't true.

If we were positive about everything all the time, then it would lose all meaning. You know that when we're positive, we mean it and we're not feeding you a load of crap.

Authors don't always know what's best for their adaptations by the way. Their writers, not filmmakers. :)

That said, Bryce has his take on it, and he's entitled to it. No reason to be so bitter about it. Be happy he's honest with you about how he thinks the film is going, rather than allowing himself to be bought out by a big Hollywood studio to deliver nothing but the ultra-positive company line the way some writers have been recently.

I love that every time I happen to come by CinemaBlend, their contributors/columnists are always griping about something but seem to miss how utterly stupid they read sometimes. Philip Pullman loves the script and doesn't have a problem with it, so I think Bryce that you can gripe all you want. Nobody is putting a gun to your heard, forcing you to go see it!

Not exactly exciting pics, but I'm hyped for the flick. Why do you say the movie is church loving? What are they changing?
