Sega and New Line Cinema are preparing for their cooperative effort to bring The Golden Compass this December to audiences everywhere, and the Japanese publisher says all is going well in its campaign to emulate the kind of appeal that The Lord of The Rings had. The Lord of the Rings enjoyed tremendous success with its movie, merchandising, and gaming portfolios, leaving everyone else in a quest to follow where the franchise has gone.Sega has made it clear that it's on a mission to tread the very same path and said that "Lord Of The Rings was a fantastic success which not only delivered for the core book fans but also managed to appeal to a wider cinema going audience."
"The great thing about The Golden Compass is that the story can be appreciated by all age groups," continues Sega. "New Line is targeting eight to 80 year-olds for their movie advertising – the best possible audience."
Sega plans to release The Golden Compass in nine different SKUs with a light theme aimed towards the more casual gamers. The story is based on the nook Northern Lights which tells the story of a girl named Lyra who sets out to rescue her kidnapped friend. She is aided by Pentalaimon, her Daemon and other interesting characters whom she meets along the way. Dakota Blue Richards and Freddie Highmore star as the voices of Lyra and Pentalaimon respectively.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

quoted for truth.
And I'm pretty sure that the people who wrote those snippets on snopes are exaggerating about the severity of the anti-religion aspacts of the movie.

The media source is not exaggerating the issue to any length, you'll find many other sources writing the exact same thing.
@ antbing
For the life of me, I can't see how you can honestly believe both of your statements that are both in the exact same post...
"Organized religion is the root of all evil."
"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things."
First you say that organized religion is the root of all evil, then you go on to say in the immediately following sentence that there are evil people doing evil things as well as good people doing good things with or WITHOUT religion. You don't know where you even stand regarding the matter, so i doubt you should even be making remarks towards the issue. If there was no faith, then where does the concept of "good" and "evil" even come from?
There would be no "good people" if "good" wasn't even defined. Please, think before you write.

Besides if we didn't have some form of religion where would all the zealots and fanatics go?

Perhaps you've heard of the Crusades or the 911 attacks or the Spanish Inquisition or the fact that George Bush is our president they were all caused by people mixed up by religeon. Who wouldn't want to stop that?

likely most of the people commenting on this forum live in secular societies. which means if you don't support something you of course have the right to not participate in it. With one exception; jesus, seem like i can't cross the street without someone trying to sell me religion or telling me what i can't do according to their religion, they even come to my house. It is terrifying to me that a ideology which encourage people not to think has permiated so many aspect of our society. Now having been both a church goer and read the golden compass i can say: organized religion is for idiots (morality is not derived for someone claiming to speak the words of god) and the golden compass trilogy bored the crap out of me. SO don't support the upcoming movie/ game but claim it's evil.. read the books before you form an opinion not a review of them.
