That seems unlikely though given that plenty of long-running series have run into criticism on religious grounds, such as the Twilight and Harry Potter series, and that never stopped them from releasing multiple reasons. #Watch the golden compass 2 full movie series# Instead, the reason behind The Subtle Knife's cancellation could well have come down to bad timing, more than anything. The planned sequels to The Golden Compass were put on indefinite hold in October 2008, following the global financial crisis of 2007-08, AKA the "credit crunch", that affected Hollywood and its upcoming productions.īy that time, New Line had been merged with Warner Bros and having spent $180 million on The Golden Compass, but only grossing $72 million domestically, it's likely that a sequel would have been seen as a financial risk.
It probably didn't help The Subtle Knife that New Line were in early development on The Hobbit trilogy, likely seen as more of a guaranteed box-office winner – which proved to be the case, despite mixed reviews.Since the film was commissioned - and even before shooting began - religious groups were outraged, pegging "The Golden Compass" as a direct attack on organized religion, particularly Catholicism. The film chronicles the adventures of young protagonist Lyra, played by newcomer Dakota Blue Richards, as she seeks to find her schoolyard friend who has been kidnapped by the Magisterium - the name of the governing body of the fantasy world. The Magisterium's objective, we learn early on, is to rid all citizens of their free will. The characters are all accompanied by "daemons," essentially talking animals intended to portray their inner spirits. The children - whose spirits are presumably ever-changing - have daemons that are also constantly changing (Lyra's goes from cat to moth to ferret), while the adults' daemons remain constant. Members of the Magisterium have less-friendly daemons, such as hissing beetles and slithering snakes.Īs Lyra gets closer to her goal of reaching the Magisterium - located in the alternate universe of Bolvanger - she realizes that it has been capturing children, removing their souls and preventing them from being touched by "dust," a substance that is alluded to be representative of the free will the Magisterium is trying to avoid and eliminate. #Watch the golden compass 2 full movie free#.
