Today New Line launced the first teaser trailer for The Golden Compass. This trailer will also be shown in cinemas together with Pirates of the Caribbean 3.
It is interesting to note that various scenes from the trailer were also shown at the press screening.
Note: The material in this trailer isn't finished yet! There is still an incredibly amount of CGI and post processing that needs to be done.

I'm a tad disappointed with the music but this looks amazing.
# Posted by AryaAurora on 2:18, 22 May 2007
OH. MY. GOD (figuratively). I am beyond excited. It's everything I could have dreamed. It's amazing.
There were a couple of old people I didn't really recognize. I saw the Master, and Fra Pavel, and John Faa, but who was the one talking about her loyalty being tested? And who was the one with the big beard talking to Lord Asriel?

I'm slightly dissapointed with the way the polar bears cane out. TheY loOk a little too 'digital'. B
# Posted by CS on 3:16, 22 May 2007
But over all it looks like it will be an incredible film.
# Posted by CS on 3:17, 22 May 2007
This isn't the final version yet, so there's still a lot of work that needs to be done: for example on the panserbjorne.

After about ten views I can finally comment.
Impressive, quite impressive. Even Paul Weitz got onboard for something there - although I can't read the credits at that size that's fun. I wonder if Pullman's credited in original material or assisting screen adaptation (next to Chris Weitz) probably the former but the latter might be fun for him since he started with his school plays.
"but who was the one talking about her loyalty being tested? And who was the one with the big beard talking to Lord Asriel?"
I'd say Father Heyst the former, Father MacPhail would be the obvious were he Scots, we know they're not against early introductions (Fra Pavel) certainly someone in the Magisterium and likely "her" refers to Mrs. Coulter rather than Lyra (as we're to think I take it).
The bearded fellow I really want to say is Patrick Godfrey, but he hasn't been cast in any role. Fairly certain it's John Franklyn-Robbins, the Librarian.
I still don't like Iorek. He's unnatural, love his voice though, really love Nonso Anozie but he doesn't really properly whack Ragnar's jaw clean off.
As well as the not finalised panserbjorne, the score is from "The Lady in the Water" so no original music yet.

Great! can't wait to see it complete and finished.
:-( don't like the bears, though… and I hope they add cloudpine to the witches
# Posted by Ardanawen on 17:03, 22 May 2007
I know that it's pretty stupid,but…Few tears came to my eyes. Obviously they still have to work on this, but I've finally realized that the movie is coming soon, after all this years…And that's moving, really! :D
# Posted by Lyrael on 17:25, 22 May 2007
Oh my gosh! I am sooo excited to see it now. It looks really good. And it looks as if it will be a captivating and fantastic movie!
Lol* now I'm happy!
# Posted by THfreak483 on 4:39, 23 May 2007
wow… i'm sorry but does anyone else agree with me that the polar bears are just way too small. they're supposed to be huge. no?
# Posted by Esme on 16:51, 23 May 2007
No, that's the real size.
Note: The official site has it in much higher quality, downloadable.
# Posted by JParry on 2:49, 24 May 2007
truly wonderful looking film
casting seems ideal.
i quite like the bears, they look real enough to me.
cant wait!
# Posted by taraash on 12:36, 25 May 2007
I'm not too sure about the polar bears either. Something about their heads. But I don't really care. I'm just too excited!
# Posted by Miss Bear on 22:46, 25 May 2007
I think this one will be the best movie adaptation, I dont know about the others, but I'm dieing to see it.
# Posted by JoeFarley on 21:28, 27 May 2007
Iorek ( the polar bear ) looked a bit digital, yes. I hope they reanimate him. He's my favourite.
# Posted by -.-Ambush on 8:18, 30 May 2007
Wow that was great I can't wait! =D
# Posted by AnneMaria on 18:27, 30 May 2007
okaaaaaaaaaay…
NOT HOW I PICTURE LYRA AT ALL!!!
but hey, they're doing the best they can. also, is it just me, or do ya'all picture Mrs.Coulter with DARK hair, NOT BLONDE?! whatever.
# Posted by Miss_Iorek_of_Florida on 22:45, 31 May 2007
no, i picture her very blonde and i find Nicole Kidman the best person for the role.
Well, i think it's safe to assume no one actually likes how Iorek came out, but if they're going to work on him more (and on the other bears we haven't seen yet) he will probably look better.
I still think Daniel Craig is crap as Lord Asriel.
# Posted by Val E on 6:18, 1 June 2007
i agree, daniel craig doesn't look as if he fits the bill here. I was imagining someone more…i don't know fierce looking. But none the less i am beyond excited for this to come out! I only wish i'd tried out for lyra….anyone know of anything about a second movie?
# Posted by republic-of-heaven on 20:06, 6 June 2007
this looks way cool though i do agree the bears are too digital.. oh welll i hope they keep it truer to the books than the harry potter movies anyone know how long it is?
# Posted by sorenowlsean on 21:18, 6 June 2007
Too pretty, isn't it? I pictured a darker world in my mind…
# Posted by Felipegvc on 19:43, 14 June 2007
Can't Wait, This Christmas Will Be Special!
# Posted by Mirror Boy on 8:29, 18 June 2007
Ok, i was dubious at first, and maybe i still am but my god i wanna see that movie!
# Posted by Samus on 13:28, 19 June 2007
daniel craig is a good acter for lord asrieal he can look good and evil which lord ariel does
# Posted by Call me ME on 9:20, 24 June 2007
and i would have thought lyra would be more scruffy and have straight hair but that doesnt reallyt matter
# Posted by Call me ME on 9:22, 24 June 2007
I get an "Error (ERROR_MISSING_OBJECT)" note when i try to look at the screen shots =[
# Posted by Balthamos1718 on 20:30, 1 July 2007
Uuh.. I just hope I have some money in my pockets.. and time to go to watch this movie.. :)

"Note: The material in this trailer isn't finished yet! There is still an incredibly amount of CGI and post processing that needs to be done."
I can only hope that is so true, because honestly I'm a little disappointed with some of what I see. The bears in particular somehow feel a little unconvincing. Iorek has an eerie resemblance of sissy-like, namby-pamby Aslan from the mediocre Narnia film about him. (I mean come on, I want to see some believable ARMORED BEARS, I want to see some honest-to-God, razor sharp, blood-dripping claws…) Also a lot of the audio seems weak at times. Lee Scoresby kind of reminds of a cross between an antebellum Baptist preacher and Colonel Sanders, but, ah well, I guess that's just part of his inherent character. And why don't I see Pan anywhere…?? (Unless that's him at the end, turning into a cat or something??) Actually you barely see any of the daemons at all…Maybe I'm just taking this thing too seriously, but I really hope this turns out to be good. Whatever it may be, this film is definitely going to be an opening-night viewing for me.
