– Embark on a heroic journey to save humanity as The Golden Compass arrives on DVD from New Line Home Entertainment on April 29, 2008. The sweeping family fantasy follows a curious young heroine, Lyra Belacqua, and her quest to protect the coveted Golden Compass – the last of a mystical, powerful device that can unveil the truth, reveal what others wish to hide and even see the future. Lyra’s courageous nature and determination to protect the device – and rescue her best friend – open the door to an adventure that will take her over sky and ocean to the wilds of the icy north, where she will gain powerful allies in fantastical creatures. Academy Award®-winner for Best Visual Effects, The Golden Compass features an all-star ensemble cast including Academy Award®-winner Nicole Kidman (The Hours), Daniel Craig (Casino Royale), Sam Elliot (Ghostrider) and introduces Dakota Blue Richards. The film also features the distinguished voices of Academy Award-nominee Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings trilogy), Academy Award-winner Kathy Bates (Misery), Academy Award-nominee Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient), Freddie Highmore (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and Ian McShane (TV’s Deadwood).
