Released in the UK only. - StarsColin BurrowsSam ElliottDeborah ForteMainly a depiction of Richards' journey through the insane press junkets of the Cannes Film Festival and, ultimately, the world premiere of the film. The sheer amount of hoopla and much ado is enough to make anyone extremely cynical about the superficial glitz of the film industry.DVD extra - The Golden Compass
- StarsDadi EinarssonJames EnrightMichael L. FinkEffects animators at Framestore CFC talk at length on bringing the super-ursine race to CG life. The principal character of Iorek Byrnison, as well as his nemesis Ragnar Sturlusson, are discussed especially; from the differences in their build and stature, to the design of their armour, to their epic and complexly animated battle for the bear kingdom. VFX Supervisor Ben Morris echoes Mike Fink's sentiments from the Dæmons featurette. "It feels like a CG feature film. There's elements of live action, but in a lot of our sequences we just take over and the only live action element is a little girl who was shot on a green screen stage. Everything else is generated in a computer."DVD extra - The Golden Compass
- StarsJim CarterDaniel CraigSam ElliottHead costume designer Ruth Myers cites influences and inspirations for the various apparel styles used for character groups in the film, as well as the principal cast, and what look she wanted to evoke for each of them.DVD extra - The Golden Compass
- StarsEdward BartonVirginie BourdinJames EnrightBy Pullman's own admission, the "golden compass" began its life as little more than a MacGuffin; something the master of Jordan could give Lyra before she began her ventures away from the college. As most anything else in the author's fantastic realm, the role and significance of the object grew exponentially as he wrote further. Production designers, conceptual artists, art designers, and prop masters reveal the development history of the actual film prop, and from where they derived inspiration for its design. The prop's subsequent forging, construction, and detail application is actually quite fascinating to behold.DVD extra - The Golden Compass
- StarsErik De BoerMichael L. FinkFreddie HighmoreCast and crew discuss the creation of and interaction with these ubiquitous CG creations. Technical factors like rigging and modeling dozens of species was a financial concern, while the composition of shots and sequences with so many critters running about became a cinematic issue. As Pullman explains, dæmons work well on the page because he only calls attention to them when he needs them to speak or act. On film, the sheer amount of animal spirits creates confusion about focal points within a scene. The cumbersome process of using of taxidermed "stuffies," plushies, and small green facsimiles during filming, as well as the hiring of extra crew as puppeteers and prop assistants, makes one again question the point of producing this story in live action. Senior VFX Supervisor Mike Fink frankly stated at one point during this feature, "We're essentially creating an animated movie with live action."DVD extra - The Golden Compass
- StarsDaniel CraigDeborah ForteNicole KidmanAn interview with the eponymous filmmaker, as well as a chosen number of New Line executives. This feature follows the rise and fall of Weitz as initial director choice, then resignation to a writer credit only, and back again to the director's chair. Anand Tucker had been chosen as the film's new head after Weitz's resignation, but left in less than a year due to the oft-cited "creative differences" with theDVD extra - The Golden Compass
- StarsDaniel CraigDeborah ForteIleen MaiselAn engaging look at the book's intelligent and well-spoken author, which covers some of his personal history as a teacher in Oxford area schools, the genesis and inspiration for his fantasy trilogy, and the public reaction and literary accolades that followed. Only in the last few minutes is a theme, a literary through-line if you will, ever discussed in this featurette - and the topic of knowledge and fact versus oppressive ideology, i.e. organized religion, is carefully avoided. Rather, it's given the ambiguous descriptive theme of the "consequences of curiosity;" a character's coming-of-age and the acquisition of intelligence and wisdom.DVD extra - The Golden Compass
- DirectorKarina Friend BuckStarsDakota Blue RichardsAs the title would imply, the "savage" character of Northen Lights' young protagonist Lyra is described in further detail, and the 2006 open audition in Cambridge is depicted at length. Young prospects discuss why the books appeal to them, and how they find they can relate easily to the imperfect scoundrel of a girl. Naturally, the audition progress of Richards is recalled and praise is heaped upon the young actress for a job well done.DVD extra - The Golden Compass
