Lots of new Golden Compass stills

Finally, we get a better impression of what the Golden Compass movie will be like, as the first batch of pictures is released. Of course we had that one picture of Nicole Kidman and Dakota Blue Richards, but from that it was hard to get a real clue of what the movie was going to look like. Now there are 18 new stills, all beautiful and all huge, which New Line was so friendly to send over to several websites, and which I was also able to get my hands on. They give us a better look at young newcomer Richards, who portrays leading character Lyra, but also at Sam Elliott as balloonist Lee Scoresby and Daniel Craig as Lord Asriel. I was already looking forward to this movie, as I really dug the first two books (part three is waiting to be devoured next), but these stills make the anticipation grow even more. It's always interesting to see how filmmakers interpret a book that you have read and loved, and even though it does not completely click with what I had in mind, I am sure the many fans of Phillip Pullman's trilogy will be over the moon with these shots. Now all we will have to wait for is to see what the daemons will look like. Click through to get all the thumbnails, then click those for a bigger look! (and click those for an even bigger look, if you're interested)
