      New Golden Compass Adaptation Coming To BBC

      After a movie adaptation of Phillip Pullman’s acclaimed ‘Northern Lights’ as ‘The Golden Compass’ failed to launch the series as a movie franchise, New Line Cinema has teamed up with the BBC to produce a TV series based on Pullman’s trilogy of novels known as ‘His Dark Materials’. Comprising of three books - ‘Northern Lights’, ‘The Subtle Knife’, and ‘The Amber Spyglass’ - ‘His Dark Materials’ is considered a seminal work of children’s fiction and news of a new attempt at a proper adaptation has been received rapturously by its legions of fans (including myself).
