The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the casting and visual effects, but criticism for its pacing, characterization, and screenplay, drawing unfavorable comparisons to Pullman's novel. The Golden Compass premiered in London on November 27, 2007, and was theatrically released in the United Kingdom by Entertainment Film on December 5 and in the United States by New Line on December 7. With a production budget of US$180 million, it is one of New Line Cinema's most expensive films, and prior to release, the film faced criticism from secularist and religious organisations due to the source material's anti-religious themes, which caused several changes to the film in post-production. Principal photography began that September and lasted for several months, with filming locations including Shepperton Studios and also on location throughout England, Switzerland, and Norway. Richards was cast as Lyra in June 2006, with Kidman and Craig joining soon thereafter.
In the film, Lyra joins a tribe of seafarers on a trip to the far North in search of children kidnapped by the Gobblers, a group supported by the universe's rulers, the Magisterium.ĭevelopment on the film was first announced in February 2002, but difficulties over the screenplay and the selection of a director (including Weitz departing and returning) caused significant delays. It stars Dakota Blue Richards as Lyra Belacqua, Nicole Kidman as Marisa Coulter, and Daniel Craig as Lord Asriel, alongside Sam Elliott, Ian McKellen, and Eva Green. Season 2 was well on the way.The Golden Compass is a 2007 fantasy adventure film written and directed by Chris Weitz that is based on the 1995 novel Northern Lights by Philip Pullman, the first installment in Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. And luckily, there was little need for dismay. The ending, which followed Lyra and Will's (Amir Wilson) escape from one world into the next, struck a chord eliciting a great desire for more of Lyra's exploits. Though not entirely expected, season one captured the heart of many. Viewers were treated to a vivid and fantastical world of awe and wonder through this journey.
But this was only the beginning of Lyra's adventure and journey to discovery. However, as misfortune would have it, Lyra also finds herself kidnaped. And the drama continued as the story followed a natural arc, with Lyra hellbent on discovering their whereabouts and rescuing the other missing children from the nasty Gobblers. The action was set when Roger Parslow (Lewin Lloyd), Lyra's friend, and Billy Costa (Tyler Howitt) ended up in a spot of trouble.
Season one introduced fans to a brave, bold, and stout-hearted little girl named Lyra Belacqua (Dafne Keen) and her daemon Pantalaimon (Kit Connor).
