Update: Unfortunately, New Line have requested that we not share these images any more – which is disappointing, as they only serve to make fans more excited for the upcoming film. The original post is still below, so you’ll just have to imagine the images..

We’ve received full scans from the cast and crew booklet we wrote about last week. Much thanks to Chris for the scans, who describes the booklet thusly:

“It has a stated edition size of 1000 copies and also mentions that it
has only been given to cast and crew. It contains 155 pages of cast and
crew pictures and is very reminiscent of many published ‘making of’
books. There are a few pages dedicated to Philip Pullman’s various
visits to the set, and the title page is his drawing of Lyra (as seen in
the UK edition of GC and his website).”

“Most of the pictures are of behind the scenes people going about their
business, electricians, plasters, etc. Unfortunately, at 155 pages there are too many pictures to send them all
across, but I’ve picked out some of my favourites – which are all new.”

There’s certainly a heap of new shots within: Dakota Blue Richards on set, concept art and models of daemons for the first time, close-ups of the alethiometer and spyfly, Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig together, the inside of the Gyptians’ boats and more.

Darren also writes in to let us know of his photos from backstage at Shepperton studios. They’re all available to view on his website. There is also a video of his on YouTube of a field converted into snow to be used as a set for the film, which you can click here to view.
