Since I've just gotten off work, so to speak, and I want to lie down: trailer_spot has the hi-res direct downloads of the new Golden Compass trailer, so I downloaded the bigger one and made screencaps (with a delightful free program I found that did it all automatically. The KMPlayer at download.com, snuggle it for me if you see it). So: 712 caps, 1280 x 544, a 50 mb zip file, high quality, low weight, all made in three minutes, and you can see all the armored bears (of whom there are tons) and Christopher Lee and the golden monkey and the spyfly and the witches and the awful machine at Bolvangar, and when you ignore some of the new, overexplanatory weirdness (which doesn't show up in screencaps anyway): exciting.

(Note: if you didn't see the extended preview from a couple of months ago, definitely watch that. I think it was actually better in several respects.)

Also, just in: the final posters. Whee!

There is literally no way I could be more excited about this movie. I think they're doing a pretty good job expressing how important the daemons are, which is allaying my worries about how they'd portray the horror of severing.

I was just thinking how when I was 12, I daydreamed about playing Lyra in a movie (the problem of me not being British of course did not cross my mind). I'd be so jealous if I weren't 25 now.

Thanks! I'm downloading the caps now. Is there a picture of Pan sticking his tongue out? Because they were showing that one some of the smaller screens at the reception last night but I don't remember if it's in the trailer or not. Anyway, it's out there, it's cute, do look for it.

Man, I just added his icon and it sure is getting a workout. Should I assume that there will be some Lyra and Serafina heroine icons coming soon (unless there already are and I'm being old and forgetful).

Ok, now I just watched the extended trailer. That cat Pan hisses at... is that the cat that leads Will in The Subtle Knife? IS THAT WILL DAEMON?!

EEEEEEEEE!

Huh. "You think it'd never seen a daemon before." Interesting...

Do you mind terribly if I download your Golden Compass screencaps and use them for icon-making? (I mean, I'm sure you don't, but my mother would never forgive me if she found out that I didn't ask first.)

That's what I made them for! : )

Thanks for these! I used one to make a piece of Firefly/HDM fusion comic book art (http://delurker.livejournal.com/110732.html), and it looks great. (Just wanted to let you know that people are using them. :)
