The Golden Compass has shaped up quite well so far. This year's attempt at the Christmas fantasy market is based on Phill Pullman's best selling and award winning novel His Dark Materials, and will be the first of a three film trilogy. Hopefully it will help fill the gap in the genre, that has desperately been void since The Return of the King was released back in 2003. The poster that I found over at AICN isn't that great. I don't think that bear and the girl look at all like they are occupying the same place. It does generate a little curiosity in the flick I guess but I'm hoping for some better posters come nearer the film's release.
