Nicole and Daemon
January 3, 2007
An image of Nicole Kidman as Mrs Coulter, with her golden monkey daemon, has surfaced; with thanks to Situ for alerting us. It may be from the promotional brochure New Line have been sending out; although the consensus seems to have swung towards it probably being fake – it's an interesting image nonetheless, and fits well for a wallpaper. You can view the image here.

Daniel Craig Speaks to The Observer
December 31, 2006
Daniel Craig, the man cast to play Lord Asriel in The Golden Compass movie, is interviewed at length in today's [link=http://observer.guardian.co.uk/]Observer[/link]. He speaks about the effects his last film Casino Royale have had him, but also looks forward to the three films that are to be released next year. We learn amongst other things why our first pictures of Craig as Asriel saw him sporting a beard. Perhaps more importantly for many fans, Craig is apparently keen to ensure that the films are not “watered down” and he has spoken to Philip Pullman “at length”. You can read the article [link=http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,,1980421,00.html]here[/link], or of course if you're able to, you can go out and buy your own copy of The Observer.
