We ’ve seenbits and piecesof the show so far , but HBO just released a full trailer for the extremely anticipated new series His Dark Materials , and it look like everything fans of the record book could have wanted and more .
Based on the novels by Philip Pullman , the co - production between BBC and HBOis directed by Oscar success Tom Hooper and adept Logan ’s Dafne Keen as Lyra , Ruth Wilson as Marisa Coulter , James McAvoy as Lord Asriel , and Lin - Manuel Miranda as Lee Scoresby , just to name a few .
Non - fans credibly screw the story as The Golden Compass , which was the name of Pullman ’s first book in the trilogy when it was released in North America . It was even made into a giving budget movie but it did n’t quite get in touch with audiences .

This adaptation , though , has already been renewed for a second time of year , and even with this first vexer , clearly has some major differences from the movie .
For lesson , as our resident His Dark Materials expert Beth Elderkin note , “ the trailer ends on an image of Lord Asriel , next to an empty John Milton Cage Jr. , see up at the Aurora Borealis — something that does n’t happen until the end of the first ledger , The Golden Compass . The original 2007 movie receive some well - deserve criticism with its choice to cut down out early , ending the film with Lyra and her friend Roger steer North together and removing the powerful but heartbreaking true end from the novel . By let in this shot , the teaser feels like it ’s get off a message that this adaptation is going to stay much closer to the original serial publication than its cinematic predecessor . permit ’s just hope that includes the heavy spiritual themes , which were also brush aside in the motion picture , as those were a major part too . ”
Unfortunately , the novel teaser does n’t tell us when the show is coming . Just “ shortly . ” We fully expect to see it before the end of the twelvemonth though and betweenthis and Watchmen , HBO certainly has some exciting follow - ups tothat other fantasy serial publication they ’re fall back .
