CGI

[den]

A new CGI movie will be out later this year: The Golden Compass. It sounds interesting in a Mirrormaskish sort of way. I haven't seen any trailers but the stills have a nice steampunk feel to them.

Apparently I'm being followed by a wolf.



The nifty thing is, you can vote on this to change it.

CGI? Well, no more than most fantasy movies. All the actors are live-action. Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig are among them.

It's based on Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, the first of which is called Northern Lights (or The Golden Compass in the US). It's very popular and critically acclaimed, and widely regarded as one of the best children's books since Narnia. It's won the Astrid Lindgren award, which is the children's fiction equivalent of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Give it a look. :)

There's a trailer on the site, though you can tell it's very, very, VERY mid-production. (A lot of the scenes haven't had the backgrounds put in and are still greenscreened, etc.)

Bought and read all three books when they first came out (here in the US), and found them to be exceptional. It's been a decade since I've cracked the covers, but I kept them, remembered exactly where they were, dug them out and will submerge myself in them once again. };-)

If memory serves, they were a wonderful change from the gritty sci-fi fare I normally read (and have been known to write).

Thanks, Den, for bringing the upcoming film to my attention!

I got a wolf:D.
I think the movie will be really good if i's based on a trilogy that won the Lindgren:D.Now I have to read these books, too.

I'll have to get copies before the Movie comes out.

Yet another vote over here for Phillip Pullman; he writes damned good books. The first in the trilogy is the best, but the following two are still pretty nifty.

You'll love the Panserbjørne.

In between I've been a large cat and a vole-like creature.

And a spider.

So far as I know I've been an ocelot, a house cat, and an ermine.
