“Of the great classic fantasy series, it’s the one that hasn’t been done yet,” Chris Weitz told Empire Online.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Did you know the most rare of all pulp magazines was Zeppelin Stories?
Only one issue, with the cover story: "Gorilla of the Gasbags!"
Oops! I lied. There's more than one issue of Zeppelin Stories
Ooh! Lester Dent's Zeppelin Tales!
All Star Zeppelin Adventure Stories
And, of course, there are always the Greatheart Silver stories by Philip Jose Farmer.
Dude. You. Rock.
Eva Green plays the witch queen. Which rhymes! Nicole Kidman plays Mrs. Coulter. Which doesn't.
Both of them might be a little crazy.
Nicole Kidman plays Mrs. Coulter.
Perfect.
Who plays the golden monkey?
Tom Cruise.
Or maybe that's just in my head.
