It proved to be a nightmare for Hollywood to reconcile the series' strong anti-Church sentiment with a significantly more pro-Church American audience, and the film suffered as a result. “There she can fully take agency of the story.”Ī film version of Northern Lights, renamed The Golden Compass, was released in 2007 starring Nicole Kidman, Eva Green and Ian McKellen.
“We see Lyra both as a baby and we see her in the second book as an adult when she’s 20 years old,” Pullman said. He told BBC Radio 4's The Today Programme that the first book will begin around 10 years before the first book, Northern Lights, and the second will take place about the same time after The Amber Spyglass. Pullman's new series stems from his focusing on the idea of dust, a cosmic particle in the series. The Magisterium, an order inspired by the Catholic church, is working on a project to separate children from their daemons, and young Lyra, along with her friend Will – who comes from our world – join forces with armoured polar bears, witches and even face the spirits of the dead in order to bring down the order. But now as the rain builds, the world around Malcolm and Asta it seems is set to become increasingly far from ordinary.įinding himself linked to a baby by the name of Lyra Belacqua, Malcolm is forced to undertake the challenge of his life and to make a dangerous journey that will change him and Lyra for ever. He is happiest playing with his daemon, Asta, in their canoe, La Belle Sauvage. Malcolm Polstead’s Oxford life has been one of routine, ordinary even.
