Phillip Pullman
The Sydney Morning Herald has published an informative article regarding His Dark Materials author Phillip Pullman’s appearance at the Oxford Literary Festival.
Pullman addressed an audience of 600 where he spoke quite candidly on The Golden Compass film adaptation. Pullman praises the casting of Nicole Kidman, adding, “I always wanted Nicole Kidman for her extraordinary quality of being warm and cold, terrifying and seductive.”
The article reaffirms The Golden Compass‘ participation in next month’s Cannes Film Festival. New Line Cinema will screen extended footage for journalists and distributors with a possible press junket.

While reading the books, I always imagined Mrs. Coulter as being Nicole Kidman, so it is so strange, yet exciting, that she was actually cast to play that character!

I read the books a long time ago, (I used to be a bookseller and in charge of the children’s section) and I was happy surprised when I saw Nicole Kidman as Mrs Coulter in the trailer. This is THE perfect choice !

Yes! Also my favourite actress. She has this incredible talent to shine in everything she does. I love her performances, she introduces herself to the caracther she is playing. And this Mrs. Coulter will be incredible. An incredible caracther for an incredible actress.

Who may have some success in playing Lady Coulter, to my mind the most interressant character in “The Golden Compasse” (and I think really there are very very interresant characters in this book!!) , who except Nicole Kidmann?
Who else may show the richness, the ambiguity of Lady Coulter?
Please, forgive me, but I can’t express my thought, my feeling in English, so I’ll go one in French (lol yes, I think all of you have seen I’m a frenchy, so if you can understand me… Bravo, well done ^^ !!!)Qui d’autre, excepté Nicole Kidmann, aurait pu avoir une chance d’interpréter l’ambiguité, la force, le sadisme, la douceur, la tendresse de cette remarquable femme aux multiples visages qu’est Lady Coulter?
Lorsque j’ai appris que le livre allait être adapté au cinéma, je me suis immédiatement dit que ce film ne serait pas à la hauteur. Surtout à cause de ce personnage, que je pensais ininterprétable. Puis j’ai eu connaissance du casting, j’ai appris que Nicole Kidmann interprèterait Lady Coulter, et je me suis dit qu’en fait, rien n’était perdu. Cette actrice est sublime, inégalable. J’ai encore quelques doutes sur le film, mais au niveau du personnage de Lady Coulter, je suis dores et déjà emballée!!! -

How exciting… My school has gone a little crazy about the whole this movie is atheist thing… I go to a Christian School… I’m a strong Christian… But honestly I think the school is degrading us thinking we will be influenced by a Fantasy film… Odd I know… Looking foward to seeing it…
It’s great that Nicole acts in this film!
I’m looking forward to seeing “The Golden Compass”
and my favourite actress in action! At last she acts in a fantasy film!
This movie is already one of my favourites although I haven’t seen it!
