The Golden Compass

The first five minutes of The Golden Compass are online.

I wasn't sure about the first minute or so, because I felt like it gave away too much. I hope the rest of the movie doesn't do that. Although the initial veil over the Radcliffe Camera (big round Oxford building) does indicate some nice foreshadowing of the second book. Still, the rest of the clip looks pretty good. Lyra looks about as I would want her to -- sort of pretty and peaked and mean looking all at the same time, and not a bad actress either. And I can't wait to watch Lord Asriel's snow leopard slink around for a few hours.

Promising.
