She looks like a goddess.
HDM Head 24-7: on 12/14/2006
WOW i hate that dress. the way it fades in with her hair, they deffinetly clash. And she looks so pale in that shot too. I think it can be saved as long as the don't use any real close up shots like this one.
mya: on 12/14/2006
it's FANTASTIC!! this picture ia amazing!
but...Mrs. Coulter is black, and not blond...
Radagast: on 12/14/2006
Best cast I have ever seen.
northern_lights_rocks!: on 12/14/2006
that still is fab, and i can't wait to see the image when special effects add mrs coulter's daemon
Wowed: on 12/14/2006
Kidman herself IS Mrs. Coulter. No doubt about that in my mind.
But I don't like that you can see her bra through the gorgeous sparkling shirt. I don't see Mrs. Coulter as being the type who would expose herself like that. she's a crule, murdering adultress, but not a slut.
Too many adolecent boys will become obsessed with this pic, im afraid.

Oh come on! only a perv would notice that anyway! (no offence). and marissa isnt a slut!
i love her EYES in this still.
Calix: on 12/15/2006
I'm not a Nicole Kidman fan but she looks rather stunning in this, and very Coulter-esque. Really good choice. The clothing design is so interesting. It's rather unique, and it seems to be setting part of the film's visual style.
Zandra: on 12/15/2006
Errr, guys: if you look closely, you'll see that she's wearing an evening gown under that sparkly shirt; its color just blends in too much with the shirt below the bust...
Will Owen: on 12/15/2006
Nicole looks spectacular!-- nearly breathtaking. From what I've seen from the stills so far, the artistic work on the lighting, costumes, sets, props, filmwork (cinematography?), looks fabulous! I really believe the film will be a great success. I think Kidman will be brilliant, as always, but if only they died her hair darker! Oh well... I guess I can't complain until I've actually seen the film.
Mulholland: on 12/16/2006
Unlike some people, the second I heard Kidman was cast I felt very safe with the progression of this film seeing as the producers went after who a general consious thought should be cast. And Kidman is a fantastic choice. If she plays this well (which I have no doubt in my mind) I could seriously see her getting awards attention for this if the reviews are there. Coulter is just too juicy of a role to be overlooked.
Hikariness: on 12/16/2006
Perhaps they'll haver her golden monkey covering the top somewhat? So that it is less revealing.. I can't wait to see all the humans with their daemons added. It'll make such a difference.
Annabel: on 12/17/2006
She's BRILLIANT! Best casting for the part possible, even with the blonde hair. There's just one thing that doesn't make sense to me though... Craig and Kidman both have blue eyes, but Richards has brown? Doesn't really fit if Lyra is supposed to be their daughter...
AliAl: on 12/17/2006
Good choice for the part BUT while she has the right stuff apart from the hair, lyra has the wrong colour eyes.....it's all a mismatching competition. She is very glamorous though, i have to agree, but lyk the other guy asked...who is Lee Scoresby gonna be?
David: on 12/17/2006
"Annabel says: There's just one thing that doesn't make sense to me though... Craig and Kidman both have blue eyes, but Richards has brown? Doesn't really fit if Lyra is supposed to be their daughter... "
i really wish people would stop obsessing over these stupid little details, but if you really care that much about the tiniest details then go and look up recesssive genes in relation genetic traits like eye colour, eye lobes etc.
Archmage8: on 12/18/2006
Although I didn't think she fit the part when I first heard she was cast....but after seeing some of these pictures...she seems she'll do the job perfectly. She makes the most perfect facial expressions, and the character comes through in that way, rather than her physical features.
Seems as though there's room for her monkey on her right shoulder/arm. maybe that's why she's holding her arm like that. ;oP
Lyra at heart: on 12/19/2006
I must say that ive always thought that Nicole Kidman was perfect for the role of mrs Coulter but the makers of the film have given her the completely wrong image! Im sure miss Kidman woudnt have minded dying her hair black for the film, she is a proffesional after all, and also that dress she is wearing is dispicable. Lyra's world is sort of still in the period of the 19th-20th century isnt it? So why is she wearing a tasteless, see through, disco glam dress then? I am sure Nicole herself wouldnt even wear something so hideous. I am sorry but Newline cinema has to buck up their ideas if they are to achieve making the treasured film We hope to see by doing justice to the treasured books.
Eyes...: on 12/21/2006
All of my family (parents, brother, extended family) has brown, brown eyes. I have hazel/green eyes....why does Lyra need blue if both her parents have blue?
TO EYES: on 12/23/2006
Blue/Green eyes are recesssive -- bb
Dark eyes are dominant -- BB or Bb
Dark-eyed parents as yours have a 25% chance of having a green-eyed child (bb), as long as they are both heterozygote (Bb). Your family history is completely plausible.
As for Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman, both are blue-eyed, meaning their genotype is bb. There is no way a bb couple could have a dark-eyed (BB or Bb) child. It just does not make any sense. If both parents have blue eyes, the child HAS to have blue eyes as well.
I don't really give a damn about eye colour, though. All that matters is the quality of the film.
Lyra at heart age 13: on 12/23/2006
I usually coudn't give a damn about such things as eye and hair colour in book to film adaptations, but I must say that I am not pleased with the fact that Lyra (Dakota) doesnt have blue eyes. It is mentioned so many times in the books, even more than her hair colour, and it shows so much about her character. I thought that would be one of the main things they were looking for in the auditions. The eyes are the most important part of the body when looking for personality and Lyra's eyes really project her explosive, unpredictable nature. Ahwell. Im sure she will be fantastic with her portrayal of the spunky, golden haired mother of all heroine anyway. I wonder if the film makers have considered supplying Dakota Blue with blue contacts?...

mysterygal: on 12/27/2006
she looks so sinister but innocent all at once.....but i cant believe her hair isnt dark brown like the book...HOW COULD YOU LET THEM DO THIS PHILLIP PULLMAN!!!!!!!!
kell: on 12/27/2006
Okay guys. SHUT UP! Who cares if the person does not have the hair/eye color EXACTLY LIKE THE BOOK?? As long as the person does the part justice, it shouldn't matter! Plus, we do have eyes and can see that Kidman is wearing an evening gown underneath the sequins? Please, just...develop some sense. I really want to walk into this film with optimism here.
L!bby: on 12/28/2006
question...: when is this in the book? I was thinking maybe at the artic place in london but i dunno.
Plus: if she had dark hair that would just kill it. I was looking up some really pretty brown hair actrsses (that chic in troy, keira knightly....etc.) and non of them have that that thing that makes her look like beautiful and innocent but still have this dangerous part to her. They all just look ..i dunno not that part.
but thats jut me.....
: on 12/28/2006
i love her 9esp. moulin rouge), and i think she'll be great, come on, as people have said earlier she is mrs coulter. Also she really does look etheral. I'm actually lovin daniel craig as asriel, if you saw the pic, he was great in casino royale. Not so sure about how lyra looks. Funily enough, i had always pictured here like she will look in the movie (blond and all) but in the book she actually isn't, which i musta missed, glad i did though. Also i dunno about anyone here but i like it pronounced L-EE-R-A. And i know that isn't how PP prounounces it (he says L-Y-RA) which is how it'll be in the movie (check the new website) but I just like it. L-EE-RA sounds more lyrical and nice.

That is a dress/gown under the top, which starts, um, there.
If you look at other pictures, you will see a long flowing gown.
I think she looks great, and just how I pictured Mrss Coulter.

Excuse me?!?! I'm sorry but how does eye COLOUR possibly show "so much about her character"? That's just silly. Any personality comes from the eyes themselves regardless of what colour they are.
Olivia: on 01/06/2007
Mrs.Coulter is supposed to have black hair not blonde! And she's supposed to be in a dress and not look so moden. I luv Nicole Kidman though...
siiknezz: on 01/07/2007
im sorry to say tht i noticed the bra too (i am a chick and NOT lezo) mmm not mrs coulter
Jammer: on 01/08/2007
Not bra. It is the top of her dress.
my my my my: on 01/09/2007
all you people are so critical... calm down!
Ardanawen: on 01/09/2007
She looks way too modern... Although, Pullman himself said kidman was perfect to perfom Coulter, and he's right, Kidman has all the potential to do this. I hope this is the only time we see her dressed like this!
pantalaimon age 14: on 01/10/2007
I think that dress looks..........MANK !!!!!!
Especially on nicole kidman coz nicole is actually quite pretty, she also has a nice figure for her age and i agree with Lyra at heart age 13.
Blue: on 01/10/2007
What's all this "devout member of the church" stuff, Coulter clearly is promininent in the church as it's the only means of her getting power, as for her sticking to all its conservatice rules, I don't remember her being married to Asriel when they had Lyra!! She's a very sexually manipulative character, you can tell that from the way she is with what's-his-name with the snake daemon... this look is perfect for her
Ardanawen: on 01/10/2007
The snake daemon man is Lord Boreal in Lyra's world, in ours I don't remember... I agree with that of Coulter as Lethaly seductive
Reedie_Belacqua: on 01/12/2007
Lyra's world it's at the end of the 20th century, it's different because is another world.
i Know Lyra has blue eyes! But if dakota was chocen between all that bunch of girls, that means she's a so much better Lyra than those blonds and blue eyed girls, even if she has brown eyes, i don't think it's a thing that will screw everything...
QUOTE aklebury :
"Excuse me?!?! I'm sorry but how does eye COLOUR possibly show "so much about her character"? That's just silly. Any personality comes from the eyes themselves regardless of what colour they are."
Yeap, exactly, how can someone say that the eyes colour show so much about a person?? it's ok if you say the way you look with them... BUT THE COLOURS? ...
Nicole Looks great!, a little pail, but great
Lyra at heart age 13: on 01/13/2007
What I meant when I said that is the intensity in her eyes I imagined so much better blue and blue is so piercing and dramatic and fierce. Brown for me is warm and soft and tame. Not Lyra's character. I'm not really bothered about it because I think Dakota is the perfect choice, I was just a bit crestfallen at this because her eyes are my favourite features of her. I didn't mean to cause any disturbance by this so forgive me. Of course eye colour can't show personality! I should have explained it better. I apoligise once more.
c: on 01/13/2007
kidman was a good choice but i have issues with the hair colour and style they chose for her. it is supposed to be surprising that lyra and coulter are related; not "damn, they look exactly alike." coulter is supposed to be nothing like lyra, and her design in the books reflected this - she was nothing like her, physically.

They didn't call someone like that.
They called Nicole Kidman
because Pullman wanted her fo the role.

Witch_Queen: on 03/10/2007
Great picture, she's perfect Pullman chose well. Reedie_Belacqua I would like to get to know you, you and I are on the same wave length I think, I too am fed up with hb. And besides that is not her bra, its her dress underneath.
Witch_Queen: on 03/10/2007
Truly wowed!
northern lights fan: on 03/11/2007
i am not calling anyone ugly,i have brown eyes and brown hair myself i am just angry cause they consider blondes prettier
kidman does look good she's one of my favourite actresses,
i think catherine zita jones would be good for the part as well.
northern lights fan: on 03/12/2007
by the way i think that is a top with trousers not a dress i saw it in another picture
northern lights fan: on 03/12/2007
oh no sorry i just looked at the other pic again and she's wearing a dress although it does look like trousers
Gyptian_Queen: on 03/12/2007

Lyra_B_S: on 03/17/2007

I don't know if you have noticed, the monkey doesn't have a name. (I mean, the name is not mentioned in the books)
Thor: on 03/19/2007
I fail to be wowed
Lyra and Marisa: on 03/24/2007
I think that Nicole Kidman will be great as Mrs Coulter!!! She looks brilliant in this pic. I think it portrays the beautiful glamorous side of Mrs Coulter as well as the more ... malicious side ....Her eyes just looks sooo Mrs Coulter. I love it!!!! The casting is great and the film seems like it will be awesome, I'm really looking foward to it.
I love Lee Scoresby: on 03/24/2007
I'll second that Lyra and Marisa! Why cant it be december now?!!!!!
Thor: on 03/25/2007
I feel that Lyra is being ripped up most because to be quite honest they could have picked anybody. There are probably a million girls who could have played her, and so many people feel they could do it better/ are jealous or whatever. Kidman is a well known actress and she is good. She would be a hell of a lot better as a brunette but that's opinion.
Senza: on 03/28/2007
Yeah, the hair color threw me off a bit, too.
Kayru: on 04/09/2007

I cannot WAIT until December!
BeLaQuA: on 04/09/2007
I feel that it all comes down to talent: if Dakota is not a good actress, AND she isn't the Lyra we envisioned, well... boo.
If she IS a good actress, more power to her.
BeLaQuA: on 04/09/2007
I love Nicole Kidman, but I envisioned Ms. Coulter with dark-colored hair in a straight bob cut... call me crazy.
BeLaQuA: on 04/09/2007
Also, I agree with Kayru: I just love Nicole Kidman and I know she will blow the part out of the water
(hopefully...)
Perfection, Calven Klein: on 04/10/2007
I rekon they needed an actor like Nicole to pick this film off the ground. I mean I was so excited when they announced they were making an Eragon movie and then when i saw it, it completely and utterly FAILED. And then when i heard they were making one for the Northern Lights i was a bit scared at how it would turn out. But when i heard Nicole was playing Marissa, i was relieved. I MEAN DOESN"T SHE JUST LOOK ABSOLUTELY DIVINE IN THAT PHOTOGRAPH! =)
I want Nicole Kidman to have my babies
northern lights fan: on 04/12/2007

soooo did not notice the bra thing.
and if you're making characters come to life, might as well make them look like themselves no?
i concur with the rants and raves of those who think lyra should have blue eyes, coulter dark hair and asriel dark hair... and um, i mean i did learn this almost 6 years ago, but uhh.. genetically isn't the blue gene recessive? as in if both parents have blue eyes the child should have blue eyes? .... hmmm interesting to not both coulter and asriel have blue eyes. i think lyra's blue eyes would have been perfect

it doesnt matter what she looks like, so long as the intention comes across. i think shes looks exaclty like i imagined her. plus with the whole 'angelic' blonde hair it gives a good angle to the good, but evil on the inside thing.
Shanklehook@hotmail.com: on 04/27/2007
She should have black hair, definitely. Love Kidman, blimming fantastic, but not the hair.
Mary_Malone: on 05/01/2007
Aaaand... yet more screaming about the stupid haircolor issue. So Mrs. Coulter is blonde in the movie. Get over it. Kidman's features are too delicate for dark hair unless she's going for a harsher look (see also "The Hours").
Mrs. Coulter is supposed to be a goddess, absolutely untouchably glamorous, cold as ice, and gorgeous. I love all the costume designs we're seeing for her thus far precisely because they are dramatic and unsettling, yet classically gorgeous. Mrs. Coulter would want heads to turn when she walked down that aisle, simply for the enjoyment and manipulation factors they would provide, and that's what the costumes say.
Witch_Queen: on 05/01/2007
I think she suits the role, she looks the part and she's a good actress. I think blonde hair is better, like someone said earlier it goes with her daemon.
BeLaQuA: on 05/13/2007
I do actually agree with Mary_Malone... Nicole Kidman's features are too delicate for being a brunette. As long as she plays the part well, I'll be happy. She could be olive skinned and red haired... as long as she can ACT!
Witch_Queen: on 05/20/2007
LOL!
Anrihl: on 05/21/2007
Yes, I imagined Coulter as blonde too, Nic was exactly who I had in mind when I heard there was going to be a movie :) Though I read the book a long long time ago, it shows up my attention to detail :" I'm thinking of reading HDM again so I don't forget how I imagined it the first time.
The costume/set designs seems quirky, to visually offset the idea that Lyra's universe is ours with some daemons thrown in; (even though PP wrote them as essentially the same, possibly to have the opposite effect that invisible or intangible things can still exist). I think they've adapted it well, they've captured the right kind of quirkiness to accompany daemons and witches and gypsies and dark matter :D I'm so excited for the movie, but it'll be released later here, in Oz :/
I like how things are coming together :)
Witch_Queen: on 05/22/2007
I imagined her with black hair but I think blonde goes better. I followed this movie right through production, from when they first announced they were making it up to now. I love what they have done with it and now I have seen the new footage from Cannes I am even more excited! Have you seen it, Anrihl? It looks amazing!
Rei: on 05/23/2007

She's so Mrs Coulter, it's scary. Too bad she has that ridiciolous outfit xO
: on 06/19/2007
that is a shirt thing that goes over her dress. So no, that is NOT her bra. lol. that is the top part of her dress. you can see it without the sparkly shirt in other pictures.
Fallen Authority: on 06/20/2007
This is a stunning picture of Mrs. Coulter. No wonder why people can be quite influenced by her. Those eyes of hers.... Are quite entrancing.
Mary C.: on 07/01/2007
I really hate the whole view with trousers it is so ugly! I was thinking how Nicole Kidman looks like she wants to kick butt. Even with the descriptions in the book I thought she would have real dyed red haid and red lips and over the top looks.
nameless: on 07/16/2007
the only problem I have with Nicole Kidman as this pat, is that Mrs. Coulter was supposed to have longer hair that she tossed behind her back sometimes. this was part of her apeal. When she tossed it so gently and madeit swish so delicately, it was supposedly intoxicating, however, Nicole has none to swish...
Stelmaria: on 08/01/2007
i always imagined mrs coulter looking a ton different from nicole kidman but im sure she'll be stunning in it. Am i the only one who actually imagined her more like eva green? God knows who but i saw lyra as brunette too so im probably not the most reliable at forming images from the actual descriptions, lol. Anyways, If its played right they could hit her character perfectly, lets hope they do!
Ama: on 08/02/2007
I sort of imagined her looking like Rachel Weisz, especially the way she looked in the Mummy while her hair was down.

I_Love_Marisa_Coulter: on 08/30/2007
Personally I think these casting directors needed to read the book before casting. But I have come to an agreement with their choices. Ms. Coulter being my favorite because I love her motherly character change throughout the series should definately have black hair. Also I being in show business myself know that Nicole Kidman wouldn't have minded dying it but thats not the point. Its what she does with the character that is the most important. I think shes going to give Ms. Coulter the compassion and cunning that weve been waiting for. I'm looking foreward to her breaking my heart in this movie.Break a leg Nicole Kidman!
Anonymous: on 09/09/2007
I don't believe it's her bra you're seeing in the picture. The sparkly thing looks more like an accessory to put over the dress. If you look in this picture: http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0385752/GC_02749.jpg, you can see that it's a wrap or a pullover thing, kind of like the long button-up sweaters one wears over a short-sleeved shirt or tank top. :)
Ama: on 10/01/2007
Yeah you can see it isn't a bra. There are wrinkles underneath that would only be made by cloth.
Ama: on 10/07/2007
That's what I said.

What? So you're saying that it is her bra there? Because I said it isn't.

Haven't we had this conversation before? I thought we decided it wasn't her bra because it isnt.
What?: on 10/20/2007
This is not the Mrs Coulter I pictured and doesn't fit the book description at all. Soooo disappointing. I guess I'll stick with the books and avoid the movies. How unfortunate!

It took me so long to realize that was a dress under a shirt! XD I just thought the whole thing was a dress in itself or something like that, I didn't see a bra until someone pointed it out to me. But yeah, I just noticed that you can see the darker material under the bust, so it all makes sense.
Anyway, I love it!! Nicole's going to do an absolutely fantabulous job as Mrs. Coulter, I can feel it. (If she doesn't I'll be completely heartbroken; Mrs. Coulter is my favourite character in the whole bunch.) I can't wait to see it! Just 32 more days...

Ugh..lol...wierd...she isnt pretty ok..=.=..short hair isnt really my type :P

But I don't like that you can see her bra through the gorgeous sparkling shirt. I don't see Mrs. Coulter as being the type who would expose herself like that. she's a crule, murdering adultress, but not a slut.
Too many adolecent boys will become obsessed with this pic, im afraid.

i really wish people would stop obsessing over these stupid little details, but if you really care that much about the tiniest details then go and look up recesssive genes in relation genetic traits like eye colour, eye lobes etc.

Seems as though there's room for her monkey on her right shoulder/arm. maybe that's why she's holding her arm like that. ;oP

Eyes...: on 12/21/2006
TO EYES: on 12/23/2006
Dark eyes are dominant -- BB or Bb
Dark-eyed parents as yours have a 25% chance of having a green-eyed child (bb), as long as they are both heterozygote (Bb). Your family history is completely plausible.
As for Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman, both are blue-eyed, meaning their genotype is bb. There is no way a bb couple could have a dark-eyed (BB or Bb) child. It just does not make any sense. If both parents have blue eyes, the child HAS to have blue eyes as well.
I don't really give a damn about eye colour, though. All that matters is the quality of the film.

Plus: if she had dark hair that would just kill it. I was looking up some really pretty brown hair actrsses (that chic in troy, keira knightly....etc.) and non of them have that that thing that makes her look like beautiful and innocent but still have this dangerous part to her. They all just look ..i dunno not that part.
but thats jut me.....

Kidman herself IS Mrs. Coulter. No doubt about that in my mind.
But I don't like that you can see her bra through the gorgeous sparkling shirt. I don't see Mrs. Coulter as being the type who would expose herself like that. she's a crule, murdering adultress, but not a slut.

That is a dress/gown under the top, which starts, um, there.
If you look at other pictures, you will see a long flowing gown.
I think she looks great, and just how I pictured Mrss Coulter.
And I think there is a picture of her daemon!

i Know Lyra has blue eyes! But if dakota was chocen between all that bunch of girls, that means she's a so much better Lyra than those blonds and blue eyed girls, even if she has brown eyes, i don't think it's a thing that will screw everything...

Yeap, exactly, how can someone say that the eyes colour show so much about a person?? it's ok if you say the way you look with them... BUT THE COLOURS? ...
Nicole Looks great!, a little pail, but great

because Pullman wanted her fo the role.

and if you're making characters come to life, might as well make them look like themselves no?
i concur with the rants and raves of those who think lyra should have blue eyes, coulter dark hair and asriel dark hair... and um, i mean i did learn this almost 6 years ago, but uhh.. genetically isn't the blue gene recessive? as in if both parents have blue eyes the child should have blue eyes? .... hmmm interesting to not both coulter and asriel have blue eyes. i think lyra's blue eyes would have been perfect

it doesnt matter what she looks like, so long as the intention comes across. i think shes looks exaclty like i imagined her. plus with the whole 'angelic' blonde hair it gives a good angle to the good, but evil on the inside thing.

Mrs. Coulter is supposed to be a goddess, absolutely untouchably glamorous, cold as ice, and gorgeous. I love all the costume designs we're seeing for her thus far precisely because they are dramatic and unsettling, yet classically gorgeous. Mrs. Coulter would want heads to turn when she walked down that aisle, simply for the enjoyment and manipulation factors they would provide, and that's what the costumes say.

The costume/set designs seems quirky, to visually offset the idea that Lyra's universe is ours with some daemons thrown in; (even though PP wrote them as essentially the same, possibly to have the opposite effect that invisible or intangible things can still exist). I think they've adapted it well, they've captured the right kind of quirkiness to accompany daemons and witches and gypsies and dark matter :D I'm so excited for the movie, but it'll be released later here, in Oz :/
I like how things are coming together :)
