In an alternate Earth, a powerful church called the Magisterium strictly controls the populace's beliefs and teachings. Although the film's visual effects (which Weitz has called the film's "most successful element") won both an Oscar and a BAFTA, critical reception of the film was mixed and its revenue was lower than the studio had anticipated. The studio ordered significant changes late in post-production, which Weitz later called a "terrible" experience. Lyra joins a tribe of seafarers on a trip to the far North, the land of the armoured polar bears, in search of the missing children.īefore its release, the film received criticism from many quarters, including both secularist organisations for the omitting criticisms of religion – a central theme of His Dark Materials – and religious organisations due to the source material's anti-religious themes. Children in that universe are being kidnapped by an unknown group called the Gobblers who are supported by the Magisterium.

The film depicts the adventures of Lyra Belacqua, an orphan living in a parallel universe where a dogmatic ruling power called the Magisterium opposes free inquiry. At US$180 million, it was one of New Line Cinema's most expensive projects ever, and its disappointing results in the US contributed to New Line's February 2008 restructuring. The project was announced in February 2002, but difficulties over the script and the selection of a director caused significant delays. Written and directed by Chris Weitz, it stars Nicole Kidman, Dakota Blue Richards, Daniel Craig, Sam Elliott, Eva Green and Ian McKellen. The Golden Compass is a 2007 fantasy adventure film based on the 1995 book Northern Lights (which is titled “The Golden Compass” in North America), the first novel in Philip Pullman's trilogy His Dark Materials.
