The His Dark Materials trilogy is to be made into a movie. The first film in the trilogy, The Golden Compass / Northern Lights is currently in production by New Line Cinema – recent producers of the Lord of the Rings movies. It is currently slated for release some time in 2007, although this date keeps being pushed back as time goes on.
Anand Tucker will be directing the first film in the trilogy. The British director impressed New Line with a comprehensive presentation he had put together; including conceptual art, visual effects demos, and a 20-page director’s manifesto. Tucker has had extensive meetings with Philip Pullman, as well as the film’s screenwriter, Chris Weitz. Tucker and Weitz will now work together to further develop the film’s screenplay.

We have no control over casting, so don't ask. We can't get you involved in the movies at all, in any way whatsoever. If you seriously want to be involved, you should get a professional agent and have them advise you on how to get involved. If we ever hear that open auditions will be held, we will post that information on the site, so check back often for updates. For those interested in auditioning for parts in the films, the standard source of information would be the trade paper The Stage. There is also a message board for you to raise your enquiries there, which will be infinitely more helpful than here. Since New Line are producing the movie(s), this may help you also.
This really can't be stated enough, we can't get you involved in the film in any way, shape or form! Please don't email us asking to be in the film or for information. All we have is contained within these pages.
