I found this article on Variety.com. It's about the future films that Newline Cinema is going to produce... it mentions His Dark Materials...
What's the answer to box office success for New Line Cinema after "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy is through? Variety writes:
"The company is set up so we don't need tentpoles," he says. "Historically, New Line has found them in places where you didn't expect."
At the same time, Emmerich is not willing to leave them entirely to chance. He's overseeing the development of a number of pics that have the potential to flutter balance sheets such as the His Dark Materials trilogy, "Shazam" and "Iron Man." All are earmarked for 2005 or later.
There are several sequels slated for 2004, including "Blade Trinity" and "Son of the Mask" with Jamie Kennedy instead of Jim Carrey.
However, the long-awaited "Rush Hour 3" is still a question mark for 2004. And there are no plans for another "Austin Powers" (though all it would take is Mike Myers saying he wanted to do one).
