His Dark Materials Movies

Casting has started (presumably for "The Golden Compass")

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4805894.stm

Hope they do a good job of it- and definitely hope "The Amber Spyglass" will be better than the book- what a letdown!

Meanwhile, Pullman continues to say silly things about Lewis:

His Dark Materials was certainly a brilliant trilogy. I too definitely hope the movies come close to that writing! Is Philip Pullman personally involved in the movie making?

I love the way the Article says Lion is the second in the series.

Well, according to Lewis and the numbering of most recent editions, it is.
I totally disagree with that, but others don't- there's a whole thread on the C.S. Lewis forum about it- "The Real first and Presumed first"

It'll be interesting to see how they treat the anti-religion stuff. My guess is that Pullman would not agree to it if he felt it was too watered down.
