Anyone know if The Subtle Knife will be made into a movie?

Question

It's the sequel to the Golden Compass, haven't heard anything about it...

Answer 1

From what I saw on IMDB it's "in development," but it also said it was estimated to release in 2009...I would think it would be farther along in production if it's supposed to be released in 2009. So it seems there isn't really any concrete information at this point. If they do make it though, I hope they do a better job than they did with The Golden Compass. The movie was a terrible, chopped up, and watered down version of the book.

Answer 2

New Line said that an adaptation of The Subtle Knife would go into production only if the first film was a success.The Golden Compass made over twice its budget worldwide, but flopped in the United States, leaving the fate of its sequel unclear. Producer Deborah Forte is adamant that she will finish the trilogy, saying, "I believe there are enough people who see what a viable and successful franchise we have." I really hope so!

Answer 3

I dearly hope so. I love the book and it would be great to see a decent film adaption. Whether or not it would be decent, though, is another story. I think the first film was altered a bit too much and that could affect the rest of the series, unless they manage to pull it together in this film.
