Found out tonight that they're turning Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy into a movie, starting with The Golden Compass. Daniel Craig is playing Lord Asriel (who did a good job being James Bond--probably the toughest Bond ever, including Connery). Nichole Kidman is in it as well. The director is this guy I've never really heard of, but he did the American Pie trilogy. So I'm hoping there aren't any dick-in-the-apple-pie jokes mysteriously stuck in the film. All in all, I'm excited about it. Hopefully some previews will follow soon.
