They're doing it, and I think it might actually be good. Damn, I wish I got to say that more often. I got to say it about Princess Mononoke and LOTR, and not many other things.

Tom Stoppard will be writing the screenplay(s, one hopes) for His Dark Materials.

Now all we need is Alan Rickman!

I just made hugely work-innaproppriate noises. His Dark Materials! Tom Stoppard! Two great tastes that have a chance of going together REALLY WELL! I'm going to use up my exclamation allowance at this rate!

Oh, wow. That deserves a happy dance.

Alan Rickman as Lord Asriel? I... can see that.

Drool....

Mmm, Alan Rickman.

Whom would you cast as Mrs. Coulter?

She doesn't have an inherently threatening look in my mind, not like Asriel does. I think I want Emma Thompson, made up to look a bit more angular in the face.

I'm torn. I adore Tom Stoppard, but I was ultimately unhappy with the Dark Materials books. But yeah, Alan Rickman...
