The Golden Compass film

Her Dark Materials is USUALLY a bi-weekly podcast hosted by Faye and Rachael discussing the His Dark Materials novels chapter by chapter, spoiler-free. BUT in this special bonus episode we’re talking about the Golden Compass film.

Join us as we chat about the controversial 2007 movie adaptation of Northern Lights. We realise we have MANY feelings about it and talk at length about the casting choices, the script, and mourn what it could have been if it hadn’t been ripped to shreds by the studio. Boooo!

You can read the 2007 Vulture article Faye mentions here, but beware of mild spoilers for the other books in the original trilogy.

You can watch the casting of Lyra featurette here.
