Kidman as Mrs. Coulter seems like good casting to me. And SAM ELLIOTT!
I know it’s standard Hollywood, but Weitz claiming to be the writer in a promo piece that doesn’t ever mention Pullman seems kind of dirty to me.
(Insert here standard rant about adaptations. Then the standard rant about how visuals from movies colonise your mind like a virus, including the anecdote about not being able to listen to The Wall anymore.)
