Our compatriots over at HisDarkMaterials.Org have unearthed Chris Weitz’ original script for the Golden Compass Movie. It differs from the actual movie in many ways, and is a far more accurate adaption of the books that we all love.

    Thanks for sharing! It’s an interesting read, and certainly stronger and more coherent than the final product in many ways. However, I do feel that it’s too slavish an adaptation, it definitely needed a bit of streamlining, but not to the extent New Line took it to.

    It might be really interesting if someone “unearthed” the original screenplay by Tom Stoppard…

    Yes, Grumman, I’d really like to read the Tom Stoppard draft. That’s definitely a curiosity.
