I don’t like it…I hope they realise something less amateur than this
I agree that the first poster with all the pics together looks a bit messy and amateurish. But when the pics are separated into the four individual posters they look much better.
Also, deamons are clearly visible which is good, and isn’t that cloud-pine wrapped around Serafina’s bow!
I agree, the four individual posters look better than the one big one, but it’s not that bad. I was hoping domething a little darker in terms of feel, if that makes any sense!
I think it would be nice if there was a big one of Dakota considering the movie is about Lyra, and not Coulter or Asriel.
Yea, the combine poster looks a bit awful, I’m afraid… not a fan of the Eva Green / Sam Elliott one either, but the others are okay. Lord Asriel looks fantastic.
They look so cheap, just like the rest of the movie..
they’re ok… not great. but, yea i was thinking something a bit more dark too. it makes it seem more kinda… i dunno just like and adventure story, which it isnt. it has so much more depth than that wich i doubt they’ll capture in the film. the preview looked great on the big screen though! (its on before order of the pheonix)
The group picture (most likely the new one theatrical sheet to replace the Iorek/Lyra teaser) is complete rubbish.
It is shit. Ugly, unimaginative and just plain amateurish.
The Craig and Kidman posters look OK as character one sheets but the other three are still an ugly mess.
There are going to be many other posters besides these, guys. New Line is trying to appeal to as many people as possible. I wouldn’t doubt that closer to release time they put out other posters with a darker, more ominous feel to them to appeal to an older crowd etc. Look at movies like Harry Potter and Transformers. They have tons of different poster options. So basically what I am trying to say is no need to complain.
yes but we entitled to an opinion….
they are rubbish
to elaborate…i agree with orange. its all pink and blue and fluffy looking.
I know that people are entitled to their opinion. I was only saying that these posters won’t be the only ones released. That’s all. =)
i hope so!
i really hope so. i dont wanna the dvd with this cover…the poster even looks ok, right, but its still amateur, so silly and colerfull, i dont know…the other posters before were so cool and good shaped, but those…waiting more.
ha ha very funny – where are the real posters?
Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig seem to be getting an awful lot of attention – for example, the picture of Lyra is pretty small in the first poster, while they jump out at you. I understand that it’s due to publicity and the fact that Kidman/Craig can attract a larger audience than Dakota Blue Richards, but I just hope that in the actual movie, Lyra is the main focus.
Its ok but it would be better if it would be Lyra with the golden compass and Pan and then other ppl and stuff in the back
new trailer, new poster… ARGHHH!!!!! (http://www.apple.com/trailers/newline/thegoldencompass/trailer2/)
I also hope that they will make better posters that are darker, but what I’m REALLY angry about is that in the trailer, DBR is 4th in the cast list, which is craziness, because she is playing the MAIN CHARACTER!!!!!! I hope they don’t take away parts of Lyra’s role just because DBR is young.
they look like absolute shit! who the hell at new line cleared these for publication?
Umm, DBR is fourth in the cast list because she’ll be being paid a whole lot less than Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, and their agents will have negotiated to get their names in first and second place in the cast list. That’s Hollywood for you.
no, dbr will hav to get the most money because it is her first film and she needs to be insured…………… so they will give her a bonus…………..
That poster’s already at m movie theater!!!!!!!! I freaked out when I saw it!
I actually think the complete poster looks OK. A little crowded, maybe, but not too bad. I’m sure that before December we will have more posters, and one of them will be the one we will see on the DVD cover.
I don’t mind Asriel and Marisa gaining the top positions, they are the character that more than everyone else (except Lyra, of course) guide the events towards the final War in TAS. And the two trailers are definitely Lyra-centered, so I am not worried about the final result.
PS: Forgive me any grammar/spelling mistakes, as you can imagine from my name I am Italian…
Aletheia Dolorosa, the order of the names is essentially presented in the order in which they choose. Usually they have the bigger names either first or last so they are noticeable by the general public. If they had DBR’s name first no one would know who that is, and it would not do as well for promoting purposes.
I think some people need to remember that marketing does not necessarily represent the final project at all. Don’t start criticizing the film itself until you see it, then go on all you want. But for now, just because you don’t like the posters doesn’t mean you won’t like the film.
When I saw this poster on Friday, I was so giddy with excitement that I caused a few people to give me some weird looks. What I saw was a piece of TGC, something for the public to chew on. When I saw people stand in front of it to discuss it, I got excited, because the poster was therefore working!
I want more than ever for this movie to be successful, solely for the fact it will mean more people will become interested and absorbed in this wonderful work. If the posters have to highlight the stars and be more mainstream, then so be it. At least it will bring people in to at least taste HDM. I have to agree with Janna. The poster is merely a way to stir interest, and it is not necessarily representative of the film itself– The whole “reading a book by it’s cover” cliche. I think the poster is fine, and I am excited to see what else they will bring out.
Hey guys the posters look great, but where is roger, the story is all about Lyra going on a journey to find her best friend who has been taken by the gobblers, so why is he not on the poster`s. Roger is a main character but there is no press on him, why??
Gobblin, I agree with you. when you look at the latest Harry Potter posters it show the main characters the story is about. I have looked up this actor Ben Walker and he is with a big international talent agency and has quite a bit of experiance. Silverfist you are also write this story/film is all about Lyra going on a venture to save her best friend Roger, he must have a fairly main lead role!!!!
Meh, I’m sorry to say I don’t like the style of the posters.
Apart from that, both Daniel Craig and and Nicole Kidman look great (though I did imagein Lord Asriel with broader shoulders), Dakota looks… different from what I expected, hopefully she can pull off a good performance.
Eva Green I’m not so sure about, I don’t like the outfit so much.
As for Sam Elliot, I always imagined Lee Scorsby as somewhere in his late 30s early 40s, without a beard, somewhat taller and much leaner. So really my opinion here is biased, I don’t like him :P.
oh wow!that trailer was even better!!you can see they’ve brushed up the graphics even more!thnx RingbearerNZ!
Just a note — this week’s ‘Entertainment Weekly’ has a small piece in new fantasy films coming out later this year, namely “The Dark Is Rising,” “Spiderwick,” and “The Golden Compass.” (All three films are compared obnoxiously to Harry Potter, but that’s another matter.)
The column said that on first glance, tGC resembles “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” but added that the film is “a tad closer to ‘Pan’s Labyrinth.'” As anyone who has seen “Pan’s Labyrinth” knows, this is high, high praise.
Thought you ought to know.
Childish and cheap
could have done loads better than that.
It is normal for hollywood to describe films as an amalgam of others (Pan’s Labyrinth meets Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe), what this means that the studio don’t really understand this story at all and are having a hard time trying to sell it to us as a result. Scoreby’s balloon looks awful and so do the red zeppelin and carriage in my opinion. The books strength was that it understated the fantasy elements and created the same sort of mood as a Sherlock Holmes story or a Joan Aiken novel. But all is not lost, how it looks isn’t what matters, its the script that matters and wether they remain true to its athiest heart.
omg!!! i cant believe they are makin a movie based on these books!! wen i found out i was sooooo excited i cant wait to see it i hope they dont change much in the film compared to the books
when I went to see Harry Potter I saw this poster and I wanted to tare it down! and I saw antoher one when I went to see The simpson movie and that was diffrent :/ just Lyra and Jorek
