His Dark Materials
Coming this Fall
---------- Post added at 14:24 ---------- Previous post was at 14:23 ----------
At San Diego Comic-Con Thursday, HBO network dropped the first full-length trailer for His Dark Materials, based on the bestselling trilogy by Philip Pullman.
---------- Post added at 14:25 ---------- Previous post was at 14:24 ----------
This one is set in a world not terribly unlike our own, except that each person has an animal soul companion known as a "daemon" hanging about. At the center of the story is Lyra (played by Dafne Keen of Logan), a young girl who gets entangled in a dark conspiracy after her friend is kidnapped.
---------- Post added at 14:25 ---------- Previous post was at 14:25 ----------
It's the second screen adaptation of the series, which was previously made into a movie in 2007. If the new TV series is able to capture the spirit of the novels, prepare yourself for one strange, twisty, and irresistibly addictive ride.
---------- Post added at 14:26 ---------- Previous post was at 14:25 ----------
His Dark Materials lands on HBO this fall. James McAvoy, Ruth Wilson, and Lin-Manuel Miranda also star.

Re: His Dark Materials
Looking forward to this. A bit late to this as I only recently heard the complete Radio adaptation when it was repeated a few months ago. Always try to support UK Sci-fi/Fantasy TV shows.
Hopefully Good Omens should be coming to BBC Two soon, the DVD release has been revealed recently and it's fairly soon. The box art only has a BBC logo on it (that I could see), a bit of a reversal of the Amazon heavy promos which rarely mentioned it was a originally a BBC production and became a co-production.

Yes. That's the name for the Northern Lights book, the 1st in His Dark Materials trilogy, in places like America. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Lights_(novel)

It's a BBC co-production, Sky Atlantic doesn't come into it. BBC1 date is in the first post.

Well don’t hold your breath. Pullman has a massive chip on his shoulder about religion and hates the fact that the genre-defining authors in his field (Tolkien and Lewis) both treat faith and spirituality as inherently good things. As a result his work is rather negative and spiteful. IMO, of course ...

It will be interesting to see what deal they struck then and how long the BBC have got to wait for it. I know HBO stuff is normally shown on Sky Atlantic over here.
