Two Northern Lights “teaser trailers”
Posted on by Kinders

The ever watchful Kyra has spotted a mock teaser trailer for the film adaptation of Northern Lights. It is not an official release, but it is rather entertainingly put together. The film requires QuickTime. After destroying the bandwidth of the site it was hosted on, the video is now hosted here – so the link works.

Another trailer: Two HDM fans have also created their homage trailer for The Golden Compass. Watch it here. The video requires the DivX codec for playback, which if you don't have already you can download here (just the codec is required).

  2. Alewyn says:

    WHAT???? THIS IS
    INSANE!

  3. Daniel says:

    :angry:
    You just couldnt make a film with Nothern lights, it wouldent work

  4. Daniel says:

    🙁
    Oops! i didn't spell wouldn't right.

  5. Ian says:

    I enjoyed the trailer actually. Because it was so ridiculously cheesy, it worked :tongue:

  6. sera says:

    That girl looked a bit gormless for Lyra :laughing:

  7. Jez says:

    Oh no, the link won\'t work for me! 🙁 Even if it is fake, I still want to see it!

  8. Dean says:

    Links gone down. Anyone manage to save it or find a new one?

  9. Kinders says:

    No doubt they're not used to the kind of traffic this has garnered them. You'll probably have to wait until February and even then they may well take it down in the knowledge that it could die instantly again.

  10. lee_Scoresby says:

    i really want to watch it but the link is down… so someone please send me another way to get to it or… SOMETHING

  11. Yama says:

    Yeah, it would be nice to see it. Kinders, do you know any other way we could find it?

  12. Alewyn says:

    I love school…I watched it during English :tongue:

  13. kyrabelacqua says:

    If the link doesn't work here, try use the one in the forums. That might work.

  14. Kinders says:

    No, the bandwidth allowance has been exceeded. There's a limit to the number of people who can visit the site (especially for a large file like a video), and if that's broken, the site is taken down until the next month. So unless somebody else has copied it and put it online elsewhere, you'll just have to wait, methinks.

    My modem got burned out by a powersurge from a thunderstorm in my little village in the heart of Israel. How cool is that? Lookin forward to the movie – scrap the trailer…

  16. kyrabelacqua says:

    Ha! And it's because of me! :laughing:
    *marvels at her destruction*

  21. Kyrie says:

  26. Mikaela says:

    I cant get on it!!
    Is there another link??

  27. Wytchbabi says:

    what's on feb. 1st?

  28. Will says:

    Bandwidth is paid for monthly; they've presumably overgone this month's allowed usage, so next month they'll have a fresh amount to use. Thus we can see the site again!

  29. Wytchbabi says:

    off subject, and please no one think me a traitor to HDM because i AM a loyal fan…but anyone who loves these books as much as i do will also really like the Books of Abarat. 🙂

  30. Yama says:

    Bit random, but YES YOU ARE A TRAITOR WE HATE YOU< GET OUT!!!! LEAVE US YOU FILTHY SCUM!! 😉 🙂 :tongue: :laughing: JUST KIDDING.

  31. kyrabelacqua says:

    Argh. Don't you just love it when people listen? :angry:

  32. Wytchbabi says:

    But seriously, these books are REALLY good! NOT as good as HDM, of course, but pretty close. actually, the main character is kinda like Lyra. but more wimpy.

  33. kyrabelacqua says:

    I wasn't talking about that – I meant the new wave of people who are asking 'Why can't I get on?", when the answer is right there!

  34. Yama says:

    I know what you mean….

    I just talked to Leif Einarsson who was "supposedly" on the HDM film crew. But he said that when Chris left as director, everyone else did as well…. So Imdb.com is wrong about some of the crew I guess. HE also said auditions probably won't be going on for a while, because they are rewriting the entire script. hmph….

  35. kyrabelacqua says:

    You know Leif Einarsson!?!

    And it doesn't matter about auditions – it gives us thespians more time to prepare!

  36. Alewyn says:

    That other teaser teaser trailer was pretty fun :tongue:

    Neither of those girls are Lyra, but I must say, the second is closer.

  37. kyrabelacqua says:

    Haven't seen second-Lyra yet.
    What's she look like?

  38. Kyrie says:

    Ha, nice mix with the cg polarbears lol. That was funny. :laughing:

  39. Ian says:

    The second one was awesome.

  40. Kyrie says:

    They could\'ve used a better prop though, for the alethiometer…

  41. Wytchbabi says:

    I'M GOING MAD!!! i'm not able to watch them!!! argh! :angry:

  42. The Bard says:

    The second trailer was a bit dodgy, but the girl was reasonably hot, so I'm not complaining…

    :laughing: Not personally. I live like 15 states from him, but cyberspacish, sorta.

    And I can only hear the second trailer. I'm going into the Valley of the Incredibly Mad!!!!!!

  44. Wytchbabi says:

    WHAT IS EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT!?!?!?!?!? LEMME SEE THE TRAILERS!!!!!!!!!

  45. Ashley says:

    I thought the second trailer was quite amusing. :laughing: It's funny how they used the music from Requiem for a dream. I have that score on my computer (The orchestrated version) and everytime I listen to it, it reminds me of the books…good stuff.

  46. Wytchbabi says:

    What ARE you talking about???!!!???

  47. kyrabelacqua says:

    Wythchbabi, there's a second teaser trailer, just see the link at the top of the page.
    I haven't seen it either – I downloaded DivX and it still won't work. Any ideas why?

  48. Yama says:

    Not a clue, I didn't bother to download it. I don't want to see the trailer til newline releases it…….
    JUST KIDDING> I WANT TO SEE IT!!!

  49. Yama says:

    OY VEY! I just had to add i was just browsing on imdb.com and I saw that they said the movie will be out December 7th, 2007 and that filming will begin this august! So casting has to be around july or so. I think….. THAT'T COMING UP!!!! I just had to mention that….

  50. kyrabelacqua says:

    If they're filming in August, casting will probably be in March or April, I'd say. They need HEAPS of time to prepare for the shoot.
