New Line Cinema has just shot us up with tons of gorgeous new images and character posters from The Golden Compass. The season’s big, blockbuster fantasy film hits theaters next weekend, to beat the holiday rush. Based on the first book in Philip Pullman’s series of “His Dark Materials” fantasy novels, it’s set in an alternative world where people's souls manifest themselves as animals, talking bears fight wars, and Gyptians and witches co-exist.
