Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with yet another development in the troubled adaptation of HIS DARK MATERIALS' first film in the trilogy, THE GOLDEN COMPASS. Anand Tucker has left the project and Chris Weitz has stepped back into the director's shoes. Weitz (ABOUT A BOY) wrote the screenplay and was originally slated as director, but stepped down. Now he's back.
I am totally ignorant of HIS DARK MATERIALS, so please let me know below the fan thoughts on this. I'm planning on picking up the books before my New Zealand journey at the end of the month to add on to my "must read" stack for the trip. Let me know your thoughts below.
