We'll see. Anything that can turn Compass into a box-office turd has my support. I just fear handing them megavolts of undeserved free publicity, as happened with that puffed-up imbecility of a movie, Da Vinci.

I can understand your concerns. However, The da Vinci Code was such a huge bestseller in novel form that there was a huge number of people who had curious interest in the movie version. But Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy is far less known, so the curiosity factor is lower.
