The Times Online have posted an article today, in which they hail The Golden Compass as “the year’s most eagerly awaited film” and talk to Pullman himself about what he thinks of the film. The author told them that the film was “stunning” and what impressed him most about the film “was the way the human figures and the computer images have been integrated on the screen. They really do look as if they occupy the same space.” Read the full article here.

A conversation with Philip Pullman at the Phoenix
November 23, 2007
The Phoenix Picturehouse in Oxford will on Sunday December 9th at 4.40pm be presenting an exclusive hour-long discussion with Philip Pullman. According to their website, the discussion “will reveal the author’s thoughts on the adaptation of Northern Lights, the first book of the trilogy, for the big screen.” It will also apparently “delve into his lifelong literary inspirations, taking in rarely discussed topics that are of interest to him, such as the importance of storytelling, modern education, spirituality and esoteric wisdom.”
Tickets for this event are unfortunately sold out, however, the conversation is to be beamed live via satellite to 17 other Picturehouse cinemas around the UK, a list of which you can see here. Prices are around £6-£8 per person. You can read more about the event here.

“If they decide to shoot the next two then I think it would be fun to do them. They’re saying that if they do do the next two, parts of them would be shot in Spain and it would be fun to actually go somewhere.”
