Nicole Kidman as Marisa
Coulter, the main antagonist of the film, an influential woman who
takes an interest in Lyra (and later admits that she is
Lyra’s mother). Kidman was author Philip Pullman’s
preferred choice for the role ten years before production of the film,
and despite initially rejecting the offer to star as she did not want
to play a villain, she signed on after receiving a personal letter from
Pullman.
The
Golden Compass is a 2007 fantasy-adventure
film based on Northern Lights (published as The Golden
Compass in the U.S.), the first novel in Philip Pullman’s
trilogy His Dark Materials. The film was released on December 7, 2007
by New Line Cinema. Directed by Chris Weitz, it stars Dakota Blue
Richards, Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Sam Elliot, Ian
McKellen, and Ben Walker, with Freddie Highmore as the voice of
