Sorry, but dakota does NOT look like lyra there. It doesn't even look much like dakota... but it might just be the angle.
Alamo gultch: on 01/05/2007
Is that? No it can't be... Not Daniel Craig!
aklebury: on 01/05/2007
Does Craig have a beard, or am I just seeing things? I like Lyra's clothing though - much more "street urchin"
Zayru: on 01/06/2007
I agree with Annabel.
Aurora: on 01/06/2007
I rather like Dakota here. And the costume.
And aklebury - Yes, Daniel Craig has had a beard in all the movie pictures. There was a big debate over whether Lord Asriel had a beard in the books...I don't remember it reaching any really definite conclusion, but it looks like he'll have a beard in the movies, anyway.
siiknezz: on 01/07/2007
as i have sed in all my comments dakota is NOT MY LYRA XD

surly the dress has to come up to the knees because mrs lonsdale tells her off for having dirty knees when she is getting ready for the dinner thing........
Niai: on 01/07/2007
Lyra really looks like Pippi Longstocking in this pic.

"rosebud says:

people like you ruin these films for the rest of us. You can't expect every snippet of unimportant conversation to get into the film.
tato: on 01/07/2007
yes, its quite boring those people who point every details, this is a adaptation, and as a adaptation there will be changes on turning the book into a filme, oh god.
John: on 01/08/2007
It's amusing to see people make statements like "Dakota does NOT look like lyra there". Just to fill you in, Lyra doesn't actually exist, ok? to the millions of people around the world, Dakota will be Lyra. To readers of the books, we all have our unique images of what Lyra would look like. There is no right or wrong in this.
Silverfist: on 01/08/2007
They shoukd have taken this picture 1 sec later so that Lyra's mouth would look natural and human.
Silverfist: on 01/08/2007
Oh, and a agree with John.
Liz: on 01/08/2007
Is that Jordan College in the background? It looks almost exactly how I imagined it! I hope the daemons look realistic, though it'll be a little strange when they talk...
rosebud: on 01/09/2007
well what ever your name is, well maybe people want to say thos things about it then they can..... if you have a problem with that then piss off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
: on 01/09/2007
mmmm daniel craig. Perfect as Lord Asriel.
Megann: on 01/11/2007
Asriel has a beard because he's just gotten out of prison, remember? He shaves it off in times of freedom, or that's what Daniel Craig said, anyhow.
Reedie_Belacqua: on 01/11/2007
I agree with tato.
And i really like this picture :]
Calix: on 01/15/2007
"people like you ruin these films for the rest of us. You can't expect every snippet of unimportant conversation to get into the film."
Thank you, someone who's actually sane. Same with what John said. (Honestly, reading through some of the ridiculous comments on these images is almost maddening.)
Personally, I'm just really glad that they decided to even -make- a film. It looks unique, and very visual, and I'll wait to see it before I judge it completely. From what I've seen so far, I have high expectations.
starcatcher: on 01/20/2007
i like this picture. but i still dont like daniel craig as lord asriel. i imagined him more strong(?) looking.
LexieSilver: on 01/22/2007
Ooooooh, what a great pic! I love how Lyra seems to be trying to get his attention, and he's all ignoring her, as always... And just look at Oxford! It's gorgeous.
pineapple: on 01/26/2007
WOO! love the costumeing!
Alanna: on 01/31/2007
Hi. me too. and they look perfect. daniel craig especially.
jakia: on 02/02/2007
i always pictured asriel dark and slightly savage i think ralph fiennes would`ve been good too but daniel craig looks promising
northern lights fan: on 02/10/2007
PLEASE... daniel craig, i always imagined lord asriel like james caviezel in the count of Monte Cristo
Isabelle: on 02/13/2007
He's perfect as Asriel. I the the they picked for Lyra
Lucy: on 02/14/2007
I think that everything is perfect! although Lyra seems a little tall, she still looks great! i think the films will be great.
hb: on 02/16/2007
same as zayru. isabelle, i have to disagree with half of what your saying on this one.
Reedie_Belacqua: on 02/16/2007
hb, god, i think you hate it all, so just don't look at this and be happy
Lyra at heart age 13: on 02/16/2007
Reedie_Belacqua is right hb. You should lighten up... and read the freekin book!!
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 02/16/2007
I just really can't imagine Dakota kissing and almost dying for Will in the third book....
Reedie_Belacqua: on 02/16/2007
Isabelle, let's trust new line and pullmn himself, and see the movie, then we can discuss that.
Reedie_Belacqua: on 02/16/2007
Pullman*
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 02/16/2007
I guess, Reedie_Belacqua... I just REALLY DO NOT want the movie to ruin my image of the book. I can't wait for the movie, though!!!
Lyra_B_S: on 02/20/2007
perfect!
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 02/20/2007
I really just cannot wait!
Lyra_B_S: on 02/21/2007
I love Lyra in this pic! and Asriel.! i can't wait!!!
merln: on 02/24/2007
Thank you, John. Exactly what I've been saying.
Not to put too fine a point on it XD
"amused" is ever my sentiment on these BBSs.
Thor: on 03/06/2007
Thor: on 03/06/2007
She is too tall- but I can't pick too many more faults
Witch_Queen: on 03/10/2007
Lovely picture! Daniel Craig looks really good as Asriel.
For all of you who keep Slating Lyra, you dont have to see the film, you dont even have to look at the pictures. But please just accept Dakota as Lyra.
northern lights fan: on 03/12/2007
i don't care who plays lyra's part as long as she has NOT got a squeaky annoying voice i can't stand kids with squeaky voices
rory: on 03/13/2007
she looks very......tall
khila: on 03/13/2007
It looks like a kid version of the Narnia witch put on an apron thing and went for a walk with a New York businessman.
xoxo: on 03/16/2007
is it just me or is she really tall or is he really short?
Fox: on 03/17/2007
Nice. :) I think they are doing well, those movie-makers.
Thor: on 03/17/2007
Witch_Queen you have made your point okay stop harping on about the evil slaters
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 03/18/2007
Thanx, Thor.
Thor: on 03/24/2007
No worries
Anna (moomin): on 04/13/2007
Lyra (Dakota) is really tall or perhaps Asriel (Daniel) is really short, in other photo's she's alway's looked really short.
Anna (moomin): on 04/13/2007
i alway's imagined Asriel being a tall man
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 04/13/2007
I think Dakota is the tall one. Too tall for my Lyra. I just don't think Dakota is a good Lyra. *worries about film*
Witch_Queen: on 04/16/2007
She is kinda tall, you never know Daniel Craig might be short arse!
Witch_Queen: on 04/21/2007
Agreeing with Lyra at heart. Maybe if you justified your reasons for hating Dakota so much like everyone else...
Gabriel: on 04/23/2007
Daniel Craig isn't short, he's actually very tall, but Dakota's also very tall, which explains why Craig looks like that on that picture.
Katie: on 04/25/2007
She looks to be about 5'4", and it looks almost like those boots have heels. 5'4" isn't at all uncommon for a preteen girl after hitting a pre-puberty growth spurt. She'd be taller than most of the boys her age.
Daniel Craig, like most male actors, refuses to reveal his height. A cursory scan of a few websites suggest he's about six feet, give or take one or two inches.
aimee: on 05/04/2007
aimee: on 05/04/2007
nicole kidman is so much taller than daniel craig...isn't that a problem?
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 05/04/2007
I guess it is a problem... New Line will have something to do about the problem, though. (I hope)
Miya: on 05/04/2007
DAKOTA'S ON CAFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 05/05/2007
Dakota is not my Lyra...
jem: on 05/05/2007
i thank everyone now who is sayin 'she is not my lyra' I cant wai for the film now to judge her acting as lyra for thats the most important part. and can somebody tell me if its true about them takin the idea of God and all that, out of the films.
Amneris: on 05/06/2007
i like it - no - i think it's perfect!
Amneris: on 05/06/2007
Jem, i originally heard that they were taking the church out of the movie but i think now they know that it's gonna be better with it in. i heard this on a website, but it's gone now
Witch_Queen: on 05/06/2007
I heard that too but i dont know if they're going to leave the church in it or not, I will be pretty narked if they cut it out.
azza: on 05/07/2007
lyra looks like a maid there, not eve!!!!!!
azza: on 05/07/2007
although i suppose no-one knows she isa eve here yet do they
Tonk_Girl_13: on 05/07/2007
Hey, y'all the only reason I'm here is because a) my friend told me to come here, and b) I really like Daniel Craig(as an actor. get your minds out of the gutter) oh and just to clear something up, Daniel Craig is 5'11''. I know trust me; let's jusy say I have connections. ;)
Witch_Queen: on 05/09/2007
I'm intregued, Tonk Girl 13!
Tonk_Girl_13: on 05/10/2007
What can I say? I have friends in high places. I have a few friends in England who are agents, and one in the states that is the chief editor of a magazine. Whatever I want to know, they can get for me....I love my friends! :)
P.S. don't hate on me for this, but I saw the Golden Compass book on the shelves of a book store a few weeks ago, and it looked interedting. Should I read the book, or just wait 'till the movie comes out?
Witch_Queen: on 05/11/2007
READ IT!!!!!!! its awesome, i cant believe you havent read it! Read it or I will hunt you down (dont ask me how) and i will make you read it!
Its easily one of the best books out there, you'll love it! :)
Tonk_Girl_13: on 05/11/2007
Thanks! You've convinced me (and scared me a little too);) but, I'll go buy it this weekend. :)
Witch_Queen: on 05/12/2007
Sorry didnt mean to :) its just such a great book! I can guarentee you will love it!
Tonk_Girl_13: on 05/12/2007
I know you didn't mean to, I was kidding! And trust me, I am that same way with a lot of books. :)
Tonk_Girl_13: on 05/13/2007
Just curious, what makes these books so great? I mean what makes them so different from all the other sieries I've read?
Tonk_Girl_13: on 05/16/2007
Cool! I'm really looking foreward to it. I just finnished "Life of Pi" today, so I should be starting "The Golden Compass" sometime next week. :)
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 05/19/2007
Dakota looks kind of creepy here, too.
Tonk_Girl_13: on 05/19/2007
Too? She looks creepy in other pictures?
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 05/21/2007
Yes!
Ama: on 05/28/2007
Life of Pi! That's a good one. Anyway, yeah Lyra looks very urchin-ish in this picture (yay!) but it looks like she has no eyebrows.
Lyra&Pan: on 06/04/2007
I think lord Asriel should have been played by someone else...Daniel Craig isn't good enough(My opinion). Wow, I didn't know that you didnt like Dakota that much:(
Lyra&Pan: on 06/07/2007
Not a specific person, generaly.
Lyra&Pan: on 06/11/2007
Lol
Lyra at heart age 13: on 06/15/2007
lol. Fair enough. It's good to think like that.
Witch_Queen: on 06/18/2007
I think its actually a nice name...very cool!
Lyra at heart age 13: on 06/18/2007
lol. I agree. It's a really pretty name!
Fallen Authority: on 06/19/2007
Asriel committed murder three times, while Iorek and Will did two. How could child ever thrust a murderer? Yet, I must not discourage the fact the the deaths were appropriated in some ways. Lyra is quite close to killers. Will the movie depict graphic scenes?
Fallen Authority: on 06/20/2007
What does that mean?
Lyra at heart age 13: on 07/04/2007
lol please don't laugh at it! I had no idea how to set the damn thing up so my cousin picked it for me!
It's punky_gal_chelsea@hotmail.co.uk
If you have got it (and you want to give it to me lol) then I ould really like to add you :)

Lyra at heart age 13: on 07/13/2007
Actually, I only didn't block you straight away coz I was trying to be civil and see if we could form some kind of truce for the sake of the people on the site but you were just ignorant and rude so I told you how odious I think you are. Then why the hell did you add me to your Bebo??? Jeez, Not got many friends on there have you? I wonder why when you treat people the way you do.
Lyra at heart age 13: on 08/12/2007
Yeah, first you would have to count how many you had so you were able to remeber in the first place, genius. And do what ever the hell you want to your profile I don't care. You could create an "I hate Lyra at heart" club if you wanted. Why should I care? I don't even know you or any of your friends so why should I be bothered about any of the crap you dish out? So go ahead and do whatever the hell you want, knock yourself out. I dare you.

Maybe they'll film the next two films at the same time, thats what they did with the last two pirates if the carribean.

Yeah, that's what Chris Weitz said they were gonna do.
