An interview of Eva Green by the French magazine Studio is doing the rounds at the moment. In it, Eva remarks that Eric Bana, Kevin Bacon and John Hurt were set to join the cast of The Golden Compass. The interview was however conducted before filming began in September and our New Line source has said that both Bana and Bacon are old rumours. Indeed, BttS reported previously that Eric Bana was in negotiations to play Lord Asriel at an earlier stage. View the interview (relevant info at the very bottom).

From Forums: According to New Line source Bacon and Bana were old rumors and are definitely not involved, not sure about Hurt though.
You could have cited Coming Soon or Elbakin.net… 🙂
Goodness gracious, will these so-called "old rumors" and the like never end? :laughing: :wassat:
Don't remember seeing BTTS being cited by Elbakin.net … 😉
OY VEY!!! the rumors never stop even when they're old, do they?
…I don't speak French…
Well… about these rumors… I just red this news on KillerMovies: http://www.killermovies.com/h/hisdarkmaterials/articles/6732.html
It seems that after all they're part of the cast 😀
Wow, who on earth could he play?
I was thinking of Eric Bana in my last comment. But Kevin Bacon? I'm sure this is still just a rumor!
Could any of these be the voice of Kaisa?
Linda – just look who Killermovies source. Ananova, who source no-one.
Alewyn, i don't speak French either. It's just a saying I've heard…
Im so glad I took french for GCSE now 🙂
GCSE…?
The interview seems quite old. Eva says that she'll start shooting The Golden Compass this fall . So it means she gave the interview before fall even started. And, contrary to recent interviews where Eva talked about her flying training, she didn't seem to have done any training at all at the time of the Studio interview.
Qualifications us brits take at the age of 16.
ah, well, seeing as im american, i had no way 2 know.
Thank you for this specific info I was basically researching all Yahoo to be able to find it!
