Empire have an interview with Eva Green on the eve of the Bafta awards – for which she has a nomination – and the actress, playing Serafina Pekkala in The Golden Compass, had some things to say on the movie. “I read the Philip Pullman trilogy and really liked the role � she's strong and hundreds of years old. She is a witch who is a guide, philosopher and friend to Lyra. It is quite a mysterious role which I found attractive. I wanted to make her [Serafina] sound quite other worldly and yet from another age. I worked with my voice coach, Roisin Carty to create a sort of medieval Scandinavian drawl.” Read more.

N is for Northern Lights
February 9, 2007
The Museum of Oxford's exhibition entitled the 'A-Z of Literary Oxford' opens tomorrow and will run until July. It's a hands-on exhibition aimed particularly at local families and visitors to the City, with free entry. “This special new exhibition will take visitors on an alphabetical journey through Oxford�s literary past and present and discover famous authors, popular books, bookshops, poets and artists. Philip Pullman features under N for Northern Lights.” The exhibition will be using some of BridgeToTheStars' images from the recent location filming and auditioning in Oxford. The images will be included on graphic panels, eventually forming part of the museum's permanent display. Philip Pullman will be on hand to open the exhibition and sign books afterwards. Read more.

More Set Visit Reports
February 7, 2007
Ain't It Cool News' Moriarty has a thoughtful look at The Golden Compass movie, reporting on last week's set visit. Ruminating on whether New Line can market the film, he says, “I�m just not sure I see this dense metaphysical fantasy story that is about the nature of free will and the value of our souls as something that any studio can sell to the public in thirty seconds.” Collider also have a report up now too; whilst Canmag continue their series on separate topics too (scroll down). About.com have also been putting their writings online.
Scifi.com have also added their report.
