The Golden Compass – New Trailer

fa-W4q2nsHY

We posted the previous trailer, but this one has a bit more content to it – and any day with an airship is a good day, in my opinion. The film (of the book) The Golden Compass, is set to be released almost worldwide between the 5th and 7th of December, and I must say that this, along with Stardust, are set to have some beautiful airship featuring Steampunk films to enjoy. A most excellent moustache from Mr Elliott too.

I must ask – do sharper eyed readers than I also suspect that to be a Wimshurst Machine in the background there? A very nice touch, if it is. Better quality videos can be found over at Yahoo. Thanks to Mr Tyrell, and to the people at Digg (where I read it this morning – there was much oohing and aahing).

This is a note to the makers of this website:

Hi my name is Matt I work for a PR company and we are compiling research into websites that discuss ‘The Golden Compass’. I was wondering if you would be able to tell me if you are a UK or US based site and send me details of how I could contact you. Thank You.

Kind Regards

I can't wait to see if they actually translate all the interlacing webs of plot character story physics and mythology into the movie.

It's a shame that the books started sucking big-time with The Amber Spyglass.

I can't wait for the Hungry City Chronicles movies...

Say, Mr. Foreman (of 3 comments previously), you might want to get some content on your website before actually linking to it..! I'm a busy man, you know...

Jessica Butcher

Can't want to see if it turns out as good as the book! But, judging from the trailer, there's not much to worry about.

The Wimshurst machine seems to be in every second shot! :D
As for Ms Kidman, well, she could be too, and I'd be happy.

Daniel Foreman

That lookls like jolli good fun!

Jake of All Trades

Holy cats!!! THAT, my friends, is Steampunk!

PS: I'm with you, KT. Why hadn't I heard of these books years ago?

Kt

Yes! I wasn't sure if you had mentioned this film before, but I definitely hoped someone would point it out on this site! It screams Steampunk. I'm excited to see it, but even more excited to read the three books it's based from that I found at Borders. I had no idea they existed or I would have read them long ago!

paddy

Thanks for this info! The film looks mightily good (except for Nicole Kidman, who I can do without on most days). And thanks for such a great site! My daily jab of Steampunk...

The Professor

You are indeed correct in identifying the Wimshurst machine, it screams Victorian science at it's most beautiful. The new trailer looks enthralling. I can't wait for Christmas! An early present for any Steampunk.
