“'The Golden Compass' became a bad experience because the studio didn't have faith in the strength of the ideas of the novel, which is ironic because it's one of the greatest fantasy novels ever written, if not the greatest, and they took the religion out of it and tried to turn it into a popcorn movie.” IfsIdeasTurnsFantasyNovelWrittenStudiosGoldenHave FaithIronicCompassPopcornBad ExperiencesFantasy Novels Author:Chris Weitz
“All I can say is that with 'The Golden Compass,' I didn't get to make the movie I had planned to make. When I look at the film, at the casting and certain scenes, I'm very happy. As for the final product, I can't vouch for that.” LooksI CanFilmCertainProductsSceneFinalsGoldenVery HappyCastingCompass Author:Chris Weitz
