The Golden Compass

[nomad2010]

just saw it last night at a sneak preview. read the books 5 years ago and couldnt be happier with the film. it was awesome. wish they would have kept the last three chapters of the book in though. with the effects and the great scenery this will be a great blu-ray release.

New Line.

they must be in some kind of cahoots now with Disney because they played the "Prince Caspian" trailer before this.

Yup, newline cinema is owned by disney.

I am waiting for LOTR trilogy to hit the BD. It would generate such large revenues for newline/disney............

Time Warner, just to clear up any confusion in case there are any. New Line Cinema is an independent studio, Warner Bros. has no control over their decisions. It's Time Warner that may be the influence in their decisions.

I refuse to see the movie. I hope this one bombs.

It's ironic that the next Narnia movie was previewed during Compass. Pullman wrote his trilogy as a counter to the Narnia series. He hated it and C.S. Lewis.

I thought the author of the "Compass" books hated the Christian themes of Narnia. I'm sure he was overjoyed that his work is now promoting the next movie in that series.

While certain trailers are attached to a movie's prints because they're distributed by the same studio, competing studios will often pay exhibitors to put their trailer in front of a movie with similar demographic expectations. This is especially true of "children's movies".

In other words, the fact that the Prince Caspian trailer played in front of The Golden Compass does not mean Disney are "in some kind of cahoots" with New Line.
