His Dark Materials



Main article: The Golden Compass (film)

New Line Cinema released a film adaptation, titled The Golden Compass, on December 7, 2007. Directed by Chris Weitz, the production obscures[citation needed] the explicitly religious character of The Authority so as to avoid offending some viewers[citation needed]. "Whereas The Golden Compass had to be introduced to the public carefully", Weitz said, "the religious themes in the second and third books can't be minimized without destroying the spirit of these books. …I will not be involved with any 'watering down' of books two and three, since what I have been working towards the whole time in the first film is to be able to deliver on the second and third films."[35] Pullman since stated that "all the important scenes are there and will have their full value."

The Golden Compass film stars Dakota Blue Richards as Lyra, Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter and Daniel Craig as Lord Asriel. Plans envisage Eva Green playing Serafina Pekkala throughout the trilogy[citation needed]. Ian McKellen voices Iorek Byrnison, and Freddie Highmore voices Pantalaimon. The film has had a mixed reception.[36]
