Here are recent posting of some new stills of the upcoming fantasy adventure HIS DARK MATERIALS: THE GOLDEN COMPASS and in my humble opinion, this flick looks just about ten shades of brilliant. The only thing that's been curiously lacking from all these pictures is the soul-in-animal- form daemons. Considering the film won't be released for another eleven months and the daemons will likely be mostly CGI (at least Lyra's shape-shifting Pantalaimon), we probably won't see them for another several months. In any case, get some new looks at Lyra (Dakota Blue Richards) with The Gyptians, Lord Asriel (Daniel Craig), Lee Scoresby (Sam Elliot), and the nefarious Mrs. Coulter (Nicole Kidman) below and by clicking through. Of course, Daniel Craig won't really care if his martinis are shaken or stirred here because he's 3 words: Asriel. Lord Asriel. Nicole Kidman looks staggering here, how cool she looks like dude! The film opens December 7th. Can't wait.
