I wonder how the people protesting The Golden Compass feel about talking fish.
I was terribly disappointed when I clicked on the “talking fish” link and discovered that none of the talking fish in the article grant wishes.
Does this mean we’ll finally have sequels to Manticore and SS Doomtrooper?
And here I thought the reason the rest of the Golden Compass wouldn’t be made into movies was because the first movie bombed…
“Christian protesters may mean that the rest of Philip Pullman’s Golden Compass novels won’t make it to screen.”
Maybe the Christians are against boring films.
JP..you beat me to it. Considering the film did NOTHING basically at the box office you’d think they’d point to that as the reason. Guess they don’t think we can put two and two together.
36 new movies on SciFi? Inculding one directed by Rick(y) Schroeder? Oh boy.
They should put the money together and make 5 watchable movies. And one new series.
