Nicole Kidman is currently in the midst of filming a movie adaptation of the first book in Philip Pullman's beloved "His Dark Materials" series, The Golden Compass. Sweet Nikki plays the sophisticated villain Mrs. Coulter, a wealthy woman of influence who hunts the film's hero, a little girl named Lyra.

RealMovieNews has scored the first pics we've seen anywhere of Nicole on the set of Golden Compass and in costume during filming. See what Mrs. Coulter will look like, by clicking here.

The book is the story of a little girl in an alternate universe where magic is real, traveling to the frozen North to save a friend from a dangerous plot beyond her comprehension.
