Although there is as yet no official confirmation from the BBFC, Odeon cinemas are listing The Golden Compass as 12A on their website. This seems to be the most likely rating considering the film’s PG-13 certificate in the US.
Some more good news for UK residents is that there will be advance screenings of The Golden Compass on the 5th and 6th of December. However it is not clear whether all cinemas will be participating in this, so please check with your local cinema to avoid disappointment.

MTV have posted the second part of their Q & A session with the director of The Golden Compass, Chris Weitz. This time, Weitz answers questions on portraying the relationship between daemons and humans on-screen without the crutch of narrative exposition (difficult); the use of the term “golden compass” in the finished film (limited) and Philip Pullman’s involvement in the production (extensive).
Weitz reveals the length of the movie will be around two hours, noting his dislike of an “inflationary trend” in movie-length. In addition, Yahoo are listing the movie at 1 hour and 53 minutes long, with Brazilian distributor PlayArte echoing. Weitz does however seem to want to leave the door open for a more extensive cut of the film later on: “If New Line is interested I could see doing a version of “The Golden Compass” which goes into more depth (and length); I reckon this would be of real interest to fans of the book and people who like the film.”.

Brighton newspaper The Argus have an article online about Dakota Blue Richards, in which she talks about her time on set, and her anticipation of the movie as the release date draws ever near: “It’s a bit strange now because the first poster is at the cinemas and it’s a weird feeling I get seeing it. It’s sort of me, and not me, if you know what I mean.” You can read the full article here.
Here’s another clip from the film – this time of the scene in Trollesund where Lyra tells Iorek that she knows where his armor is.
There’s also another clip over at MSN, featuring Lyra talking to Lee Scoresby.
