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).

    March or April March or April March or April March or April March or April March or April March or April March or April March or…

  2. Yama says:

    Lol! SUPER EXCITED! Good, because if the casting is in march or april:
    a) that's very soon
    b) it won't interfere with me traveling to NY!!!!

    All is well in the land of yama.

  3. Wytchbabi says:

    IT DOESN'T WORK!!!

    exsqueeze me, baking powder? casting in March or April???

  4. taro says:

    For those that are having trouble viewing the trailer, it seems to work best with older versions of Windows Media Player. This can usually be found in the WiMP folder as mplayer2.exe.

  5. Yama says:

    You lost me at the baking powder Wytchbabi. :laughing: I looked on imdb.com and they said filming begins in august of this year so that's where the March April came from. Auditions should be right around then. Right Kyra?

  6. Wytchbabi says:

    YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
    !!!!!!!!!!!

    erm, let me clarify about the baking powder. it kinda sounds like Beg Your Pardon if you say it fast. so instead of saying Beg Your Pardon you can say Baking Powder, like you're hard of hearing. :tongue:

  7. Alewyn says:

    like olive juice!

  8. Will says:

    We\'ll be hosting the file ourselves shortly – so you can all see it soon. 🙂

    Incidentally, for people who read this far onto the second page; do you think it\'d be a better idea to have comments arranged newest first, or not?

  9. Kinders says:

    Newest first would be nice, though you'd have to make it clear that they were that way around.

  10. Wytchbabi says:

    newest first

  11. Wytchbabi says:

    AUGH! IT'S STILL NOT WORKING!!! :angry:

  12. moonflash says:

    Yes, newest first please!

  13. Wytchbabi says:

    oh yay! they already changed it to newest first! fast. snazzy. but now i'm a tad confused! oh well.

  14. Yama says:

    Good grief I was confused for about 3 minutes…. But I like it like this!!! Wheeeeeeeeee! And we'll have the file soon? Even more to "Wheeeeeeeeeeeee" about!

  15. Will says:

    See the news post. 🙂 Give the links a click now!

  16. Alewyn says:

    I have a question. Were the auditions for the main roles (i.e. Harry, Ron, and Hermione) in Harry Potter open?

  17. kyrabelacqua says:

    Yes, they were. But in the end, they had to hire English actors because J.K Rowling refused to have Americans playing any of the lead roles

  18. moonflash says:

    Erm, I know my quicktime is fine, and when it loaded it was just playing the audio, with no video.

  19. Yama says:

    Same with me. I have quicktime and it only played the audio. Is that supposed to happen?

  20. Will says:

    It works fine for me in all my browsers, but since you're having problems I've added a link to the page so you can download it directly.

  21. Kinders says:

    "I have a question. Were the auditions for the main roles (i.e. Harry, Ron, and Hermione) in Harry Potter open?"
    "In the end, they had to hire English actors because J.K Rowling refused to have Americans playing any of the lead roles."
    In the beginning, in fact.

  22. Yama says:

    I found some more news in the LA times and sent it to Will. IT says they might shoot the last two movies simultaneously, if TGC does well in the box office. Also it'll cost about 350 million dollars. :wassat: whoa.

  23. Wytchbabi says:

    ugh. THAT would be screwy.

    i FINALLY saw the trailer! it worked at last! the intro was interesting, but the chick was all wrong. wow, i'm really judgemental, aren't i?

  24. Kinders says:

    Why would it be screwy?

  25. Yama says:

    Still haven't seen it, but I got a reply back from Ted Haigh of the Arts Dept. On HDM! He said that auditions most likely will be over in england because they are filming over there. But he didn't say that Americans couldn't try. But he couldn't say much because
    a) he signed a contract
    b) he's in the arts dept.

    But he said he'd pass the e-mail on to the production team.

  26. kyrabelacqua says:

    Thanks, Witchy-cloudpine!
    Read your PM's on IMDb! Please!

  27. Alewyn says:

    only England…? poo. 🙁

  28. Wytchbabi says:

    what would be screwy is that if they shot TSK and TAS as one movie. whack.

  29. kyrabelacqua says:

    No, Wytchbabi. :laughing: It means they'll shoot TSK and TAS at the same time. They'll be seperate movies, it's okay. Don't panic!

  30. Yama says:

    Yeah, it would be just like lord of the rings, finish one and start the next, no break between.

    And yeah, I will Kyra, going there right now!

  31. Wytchbabi says:

    OH! i get it! silly me :laughing:. thanks Kyrabelacqua, for clarifying. ya, that wouldn't be whack, that'd be cool! hard on the crew/actors, tho. (note that I will be on that cast, as the lead.)

  32. kyrabelacqua says:

    Keep dreaming… I'm already cast. 😉
    I would prefer them to film them all at once, but that doesn't look feasable, so I guess this is better than nothing. It's good, because the actors won't age much during the shoot.

  33. Wytchbabi says:

    ya. oh, and did your agent tell you? they wanted me. not you. :tongue:

  34. Yama says:

    Sorry girls forget it. I'm cast as lyra. 🙂

    Oh and I got some info from another contact on the film. (kyra u know what I'm talking about)

  35. kyrabelacqua says:

    Yep, I do. I have some info, too. And I'll have some more very, very soon. Watch out! 😉

  36. Will says:

    To everyone who has been inanely posting here over the past month: this is not a messageboard. Nor is it a place to talk with your friends. It is for commenting specifically on the news item itself. We have a forum, go there if you want to talk.

  37. Missy_me says:

    !!! Wtf!!! The messages of the last 3 mothts are gone!! :wassat:
    -x-

  38. KittyKat says:

    we are sorry. 🙁 we were only carrying on the topic brought up.
    🙁

    …..
    🙁
    i think i will go somewhere else now

    🙁
    KKx :laughing: 🙂

  39. Alewyn says:

    Will: We were simply tryng to find a nice, quiet place to chat without chitter going on around us. We are extremely sorry and hope that you might just let us continue to post quietly and peacefully here.

  40. Will says:

    It's not so much that I mind what you're doing, but where you're doing it. If you can stick to discussing auditions underneath auditions news items, I'll be a lot happier. There's two or three auditions threads now, make use of them!

  41. KittyKat says:

    ok, fine by me, i think. but please make more teaser trailers so we can almost sort of wait for the movie! TY – not that the producers will really get this message but still
    KKx 🙂

  42. Missy_Me says:

    huh..? Where are those treads then..?

  43. KittyKat says:

    in case MM is confused by what Will said:MM, threads are basically just topics that are being brought up and talked about. there is the other forum which Becca/Lyra told us about, the 'thousands at cambridge auditions' page and 'open auditions for Lyra to be held'.
    KKx 🙂

  44. Missy_Me says:

    huh..? What.? I'm sooooo confused… :wassat: :tongue:
    -x-

  45. KittyKat says:

    basically it just means talk about it somewhere else 😉
    KKx 🙂

  46. H says:

    Indeed….. :laughing: We're being told to go away…….in a polite and nice way :smile:.
    Hx 😉

  47. Willl says:

    It also means you all keep to one place, so I have less places to check. 🙂

    Some people on the boards are making their own teaser trailer: http://www.bridgetothestars.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=202233

    ooh, i went there and was confused :-I

  49. Hannah (H) says:

    I think those trailers are really cool, they capture the film really well…
    Hx
    (P.S. KK, how did the auditions go?)
