Plot Summary: Based on author Philip Pullman's bestselling and award-winning novel, "The Golden Compass" tells the first story in Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy. "The Golden Compass" is an exciting fantasy adventure, set in an alternative world where people's souls manifest themselves as animals, talking bears fight wars, and Gyptians and witches co-exist. At the center of the story is Lyra (played by newcomer Dakota Blue Richards), a 12-year-old girl who starts out trying to rescue a friend who's been kidnapped by a mysterious organization known as the Gobblers - and winds up on an epic quest to save not only her world, but ours as well. "The Golden Compass" stars an ensemble cast that includes Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Sam Elliott, and Ian McShane. The film is written and directed by Chris Weitz ("About A Boy," "Antz") and produced by Deborah Forte and Bill Carraro ("Frequency"). It is executive produced by Andrew Miano and Paul Weitz ("In Good Company"). "The Golden Compass" is scheduled for a Dec. 7, 2007 release.

you can't take the deamon quiz anymore because i guess the movie is kind of old now, it came out in 2007 and now it's 2009. but i took the quiz a long time ago and my deamon is a Jakal, and his name is Aesop

I would love for them to make the next two movies. I have not seen anything about it on IMDb or any where else as well. Does any one really know if they are going to be making them or not?

And just to comment on what Samantha said about the church.....
They do have power every where you go you just do not realize it. They may not win every battle that they fight but they do win some. If it is a good thing or a bad thing I don't know and I don't think that any one really does.
