I received an e-mail today from someone letting me know about a new movie coming out. Given the context and the information behind the author of the books the movie is based on I thought my readers might be interested in the details and be informed. The movie is titled “The Golden Compass”
As you can see, the movie looks very well produced and has a pretty large cast of great actors.
- Nicole Kidman
- Daniel Craig
- Ian McKellen
- Sam Elliott
Here’s the problem though, the books are written by an atheist and the message of killing God doesn’t come until the third book in the trilogy. Releasing the movie this close to Christmas, the goal could be that parents take their kids to an entertaining movie and they begin reading the sequels in the book series.
You can get more details of the plotline of the book and about the author, Phillip Pullman at Snopes.com. There’s also an Xbox 360 game coming out based on the movie.
I’m normally not a person to get all worked up about stuff like this, but I like to know about these types of events to remind myself and others that the world isn’t innocent. We must be on our guard and understand what’s going on around us. 1 Peter 5:8
