[PAR] [TLE] The Golden Compass (film) [SEP] The Golden Compass is a 2007 British-American fantasy adventure film based on "Northern Lights", the first novel in Philip Pullman's trilogy "His Dark Materials".  Written and directed by Chris Weitz, it stars Nicole Kidman, Dakota Blue Richards, Daniel Craig, Sam Elliott, Eva Green, and Ian McKellen.  The project was announced in February 2002, but difficulties over the script and the selection of a director caused significant delays.  At US$180 million, it was one of New Line Cinema's most expensive projects ever, and its disappointing results in the USA contributed to New Line's February 2008 restructuring. [PAR] [TLE] His Dark Materials [SEP] His Dark Materials is an epic trilogy of fantasy novels by Philip Pullman consisting of "Northern Lights" (1995, published as "The Golden Compass" in North America), "The Subtle Knife" (1997), and "The Amber Spyglass" (2000).

The three novels have won a number of awards, most notably the 2001 Whitbread Book of the Year prize, won by "The Amber Spyglass".  "Northern Lights" won the Carnegie Medal for children's fiction in the UK in 1995.  The trilogy took third place in the BBC's Big Read poll in 2003.
