Our Italian friends over at Queste Oscure Materie.it alerted us of a blog that says they have reliable information that reshooting parts of The Golden Compass has begun just last Thursday. While we do not have confirmation, it is quite notable and it does raise questions. Are they just perfecting the movie, reshooting a few scenes that they weren't completely happy with or are they perhaps changing parts of the story?
Furthermore, Queste Oscure Materie were at a conference in Bologna where Philip Pullman's book The Broken Bridge (which was recently translated to Italian) was promoted. They were able to record and transcript the discussion that was held there. The full transcript is available in English, and there are a few pictures too.

Perfectly normal to do pickups for this kind of movie. I'd be surprised if they didn't do it.

indeed, a few Bolvanger kids have also been asked to return to the Shepperton Studios for reshooting later this month.
