Just a quick post while I can sneak one in on my lunchbreak – a couple of people have pointed out the above amazing sizzle trailer for The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials Trilogy) film due out this year – it’s looking most interesting indeed! There’s airships and vehicular contraptions, terror, witches, polar bears (well, of a sort) and best of all – goggles! Thanks to both Andy_W, Jeremey and Mr Iversen for pointing it out! Definitely a fantasy/Steampunk cross to keep an eye out for (if you’ve not already read the books (Amazon.co.uk)). Of course, no big budget film would be complete without oodles of toys and other merchandise to accompany it – and the toys for The Golden Compass look quite interesting.  I’m particularly interested in the fact they plan to release child-sized props from the film (I know CuriousGoods has been keeping an eye on the compass replica) – I can only hope for some nice goggles to get my hands on.  :*:
