In a recent interview with the Guardian<\/a>, Philip Pullman comments on the use of CGI as a possible reason for the failures of many film adaptions of fantasy books.<\/p>\n

“We don’t believe it any more.” He said. “Or we know that it’s only computers.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He also addressed the ever present question: Will there ever be a Subtle Knife movie?<\/p>\n

“They would have to recast [Lyra]. It’s lost really. It’s gone.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Maybe one day a movie executive will stumble upon His Dark Materials again and they might have the chance to re-imagine it in a way that will please the sraffies worldwide, as well as Pullman himself. However, Pullman said that it would have to be an antirely different film.<\/p>\n

“I would rather it was made in someone’s shed with tin cans and bits of rope. I think it would be more involving – to be made for about 10 quid, rather than $200m.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, anyone have any tin cans or rope lying about?<\/p>\n
