Energy points us towards dvdactive’s revealing of a DVD cover for The Golden Compass that, if correct, would seem to confirm that an extended cut of the film is on the way. The cover has “2 Disc Extended Edition” at the top, which is quite clear phrasing. It doesn’t seem to be a finalised version of a DVD cover, however, and it’s getting a bit late in the day for an extended edition to be revealed. Click the image on the left to take a closer look.

Brighton newspaper The Argus report on a wintry incident in Dakota Blue Richard’s hometown of Hove. The paper reports that Dakota was “with a group that kicked to pieces a snowman and snow dog that brought a neighbourhood together.” Local shopkeeper Abe Restoto, outwith whose store the snowman was constructed, lamented that “”We put our heart and soul into that snowman.” He said of Dakota, “She went from cool to uncool in a very short space of time.”
The film star’s agents have responded, saying that, “It was a game that obviously somewhere along the way went awry. It was not done with malicious intent at all.”
Local residents don’t seem too upset however: most of the comments on the Argus’ website criticise the newspaper for running the story in the first place. It has been picked up by the Telegraph as well though.

Italian His Dark Materials fan Luca sends over these rather cute miniatures of the Golden Compass characters as they are in the film (click thumbnails for larger photos). Those hoping to get their hands on them will have to be disappointed – they’re for the artist’s personal delectation only.
