A Sizzle Reel For THE GOLDEN COMPASS Shows Up Online! And Then Disappears! And Reappears again!

Harry here - saving the day! Mori dropped the ball, but I picked it up!






And sure enough, it's already gone.

Basically, what was leaked online was a sizzle reel, something that's shown to exhibitors or merchandisers to try and get them excited about the movie. Much of this matched the footage I was shown when I visited the set earlier this year, and it gives you a very good idea of what you can expect in theaters this December.

Keep in mind... most of this is unfinished, and a lot of the effects are in rough test form. Still, if you’re curious what the world of HIS DARK MATERIALS is going to look like onscreen, this is your first peek.

The footage appears to be password protected at this point.

Sorry if you missed it.
