A friend of mine (thanks Ollie) passed me a link to a five minute trailer for The Golden Compass on Youtube after seeing the link I put up here and on Facebook the other day.

It shows a lot more of the story and also seems to indicate that the producers have indeed decided to stick with the religious aspect of the book as opposed to replacing it with a more corporate angle to appease certain religious groups in the States. This pleases me no end if it's true.

Anyway, here it is for those of you who might be interested in seeing more...
