GOLDEN COMPASS 2 DVD SERIES
How refreshing that we’re getting a fantasy series aimed at children that doesn’t trot out the old Christian symbols and fantasies.
However, I see nothing at all alarming in those findings.
I enjoy reading Snopes for its typically unfailing research. Yes, the Snopes article is accurate in its findings. Please help spread the word about this "anti-God" film!įirst of all, I'm a bit disconcerted to find that Snopes is being used in support of this kind of movement.
GOLDEN COMPASS 2 DVD MOVIE
It is certainly not a film you want your children to see (the children in the movie kill God in the end) and we must not support it financially! The story behind this atheist created movie is found at Snopes ( ).
We must inform everyone we know of the real message behind this movie. PLEASE, check this out!!! This movie, The Golden Compass, and starring Nicole Kidman is scheduled to come out December 7th and is being pushed as a Family Friendly film. I guess I half-expected something like this, but I just got this message in my Inbox. I'm reading Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy to my daughter, and we're both enjoying it quite a bit. Okay, as some of you know, I'm coming from the atheist/agnostic worldview. Oh well, it's still a great story and would make a great movie. It seems in anti-Christian Britain these days that's how the church is seen and to defend the church is to be labled a religeous extremist. The book is a teen-marketed story about church-run lethal child abuse. Even though I'm not a church-goer, it's amazing to me that people are surprised and distainful towards anyone offended by it. The book is certainly anti-church to the point of offensiveness. Too bad, I've been looking forward to this one, but I can't say that I'm surprised. He said earlier this year: “I regard His Dark Materials as the most important work of my life, in part because it is one of the few books to have changed my life”. Weitz, who defended the decision to remove mention of the Church in the movie, will continue in his role as the film’s screenwriter. They end with the death of a geriatric God and the Church itself is described as “wrong and bad”. Pullman’s trilogy examines the corrupting force of religion while relating the adventures of two children on a quest. Last week Weitz said that New Line, which made the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, was anxious that the adaptation would fail to make money if it was perceived as anti-religious.īut fans of the award-winning books condemned the planned removal of anti-religious sentiment as a “blatant cop-out to the Bible Belt of America”. He added: “The technical challenges of making such an epic are more than I can undertake at this point.” Last month, the Oscar-winning playwright Sir Tom Stoppard found his draft for the project had been shelved.Īnnouncing his resignation, American-born Cambridge graduate Weitz said that His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass would be “an extraordinary film”.īut he said: “At this point in my life I am not the right director to bring it to pass”. Weitz’s resignation is the second casualty to be claimed by His Dark Materials, which is being made by the Hollywood studio New Line Cinema. Last week, fans of British author Pullman attacked the director for removing mention of the Church from the film – for fear of upsetting American Christian groups. By Sherna Noah, PA Showbusiness Correspondentĭays after it was disclosed that God had been removed from the script, the movie version of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials has been hit by a setback – the director has resigned.Ĭhris Weitz, who previously directed About A Boy and American Pie, cited the “technical challenges” of making the movie, saying they were “more than I can undertake at this point”.
