@Alex Whybrow How is that creepy? I’m a woman, I remember how drastically my body changed in a year at that age. Why are you trying to turn a harmless comment into something it’s not?
James Mcavoy is a fantastic actor, but a shit choice for Asriel. Lyra is meant to be terrified of him yet especially in the early scenes, he had about as much gravitas as a Blue Peter presenter.
@@davebox588 OMG THIS. I'm listening to the audiobook again and it describes him as this tall man with huge shoulders and a dark face and Lyra is afraid of him, but James McAvoy is none of these things. No offense, James.
I know it's been delayed by Covid, but any idea when the second series is due? Agree about James Mcavoy also. Can't imagine him trecking across Arctic wastes researching dust. A really good actor but poor choice for this part.
It seems that only Lin knows what exactly Dust is, the other two haven't apparently read the whole source material. Anyway, when I first read that Lin would play Mr. Scoresby (one of my favourite characters in the books), I didn't think this was a good pick as I imaged Mr. Scoresby to be a rather older polite cowboy, more like a grandfather figure. But Lin-Manuel's interpretation of Mr. Scoresby is really good, I enjoyed the character twist and how he approached the character. Well done, Lin-Manuel.
It's so weird seeing Dafne looking so gorgeous and grown up. It feels only like yesterday when she was an 11-year-old goofball having the time of her life on the set of Logan.
Great interview, as a huge fan of the books, it's really cool to hear the actors discussing the characters and themes etc. Dafne's answers were great; seems like she's really enjoying the part! Really excited for this series
I love how they really appreciate the intent of the source material. I love it when actors really get in the head space of the characters and the writers! Can’t wait to see more of it. These were my favorite books I’m so glad HBO will work on this they will do it justice
Dafne started her career in a huge movie with one of the biggest actors in Hollywood Hugh Jackman in Logan. . She is now working for HBO in this amazing series and she is only 15 years old. She is a badass and an inspiration to work hard anything is possible
THIS WILL BE THE BEST TV SERIES EVEEERRRR!!! No seriously... i think every single cast is PERFECT and i can´t wait to see every single second of it. The most important part for me in this lovely interview was Lin saying: "We have so much time to tell the story. And we get to go so deep on all characters you love and the world you love and really expand in places that gives the story time to breathe" PERFECT!!!!! ♥♥♥
I read all the books years ago in my early teens when I was in school and I loved and enjoyed them so much, they were my favourite books! I can't remember every single detail in the books as it has been quite some years but I do remember that I enjoyed them so much that they were my favourite (I may read them again to remind myself properly). Phillip Pullman is an amazing author and the cast chosen are amazing! But I LOVE this series too and can't wait to see the next upcoming episodes! I hope at least all these books will be turned into the series (episodes) and maybe even more! :D
That's why it's make me very sad, because she would be get death fastly due to her fast growth. But I love her very much such a wonderful actress. I am sorry to say this.
I just realized when Lin-Manuel Miranda mentioned Mary Poppins, that Ruth Wilson was also part of a film that paid homage to the story of Mary Poppins when she played Margaret Goff in “Saving Mr. Banks”. Looks like these two actors were connected in a way even before they started acting together...
@@attackpatterndelta8949 Yeah they did TLTWATW, Prince Caspian, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and The Silver Chair back in the 80s as a BBC series but I think we can all agree that those were subpar productions, to put it nicely.
I'm loving this series it's been so action packed and could not ask for anything better. Thanks for giving us this awesome series half of me really wants a second series!!!!! 😍😍😍
I can’t wait for this show, I’ve read all the books in advance including the Prequel La Belle Sauvage. On a separate note, is it just me who thinks that Dafne Keen and Ruth Wilson look quite alike as a mother and daughter who they’re going to be playing.
Let's hope our imminent relationship with the US allows for its completetion. An on-screen version of Amber Spyglass made as brilliantly as Northern Lights will be awe inspiring.
I did hear that line in In The Heights and I did think about Will and Lyra in book 3 and the fact Lin is a huge fan and was inspired by the books make it even better.
I’ve read most of the books and I’ve watched the 2 seasons that have been released and I actually prefer the TV show to the book and a lot of that is actually down to the cast and the dæmons. I love the way they portray this. I can’t wait for the 3rd series. This seems like a lovely cast and Dafne Keen and Lin-Manuel Miranda are especially good. I also like the boy who plays Roger. 😭
wow i finding theses series long after they been on air and let me tell you what at good job you all did and keep finding theses actress\actors that just give hope to storytelling
I stumbled upon His Dark Materials - Series 1 & 2 on the BBC I player. So 3 days of binge watching during Lockdown & I'm hooked! Happy to hear that Series 3 has the Greenlight! Something to look forward to 😝
Love his Dark materials, I read all the books and loved them, and the series such an amazing live action of the books, Philip Pullman created such an amazing world
I think the way I understood Dust was that it was symbolic of maturity and knowledge - like eating the apple of Eden, a sin but knowledge which comes to you when you mature. The Magisterium don’t like Dust because knowledge means that the people won’t be ignorant, and thus harder to control
watching from Philippines start season 1 to 3 the most part i like is season 3. i feel the pain its emotional and while watching im crying. and im shock in the end my god haha and the chemistry between lyra and will . what a love story
The World loves to shine. Ruth Wilson is Complex picture perfect. This helps my in general to shine. The in-between is the unfound identity that has to be on the way up. This is a helper and I am glad to be here and enjoying this complex of how the World loves to shine. Gee thanks, for a Great Show, Keepers of the Closet, Brain Storm Brian Koller
@@kenpachi465 those new comics ruined her no it ruined and hurt both characters if marvel adapts all new wolverine this will end up so bad for both two characters
What thrills me about this production is that even the actors seem to be so well-versed in the source material. I really hope they wont flunk it up in later seasons like GOT did. But all I have seen from this show so far is very promising! Can't wait for it to air.
'Word is that Mrs. Coulter is a horrible, horible mean person n the book'. 'Oh, misunderstood' xD Oh I like it that we'll get to know her a bit more. I am curious^^ I wanna dig deeper as to why she is so horrible. That is exactly what draws me so much to this story, the relationship between human and daemon. It is so deep and complex and intimate. It is learning about yourself and loving yourself. It is very, very beautiful and oh so important! And teh contrast between Lyra with Pan and COulter with her Dae is very symbolic. If you don't love or take care of your daemon, you have a problem with yourself. You don't like/love yourself or loath yourself like she stated. I am a sucker for symbolismn :3 I think I'm gonna love that most too, the more time the series has to really dive into details of teh books. So much happens there and it's impossible to put that in a movie. 8 hour per book? That is awesome! 8D Darker than the movie? Nice! :D
@@ricardosoto5770 I dont know.. But they said they would dive deeper into the character and why she acts like she acts. So it is possible.. Who knows.. Just diving deeper into the character is already cool to look forward to^^
Shes 15, but i could give her 25. Look at 2017 movie logan how she looks like and how she looks now. Craazy how girls can grow in 3 years. Even in his dark materials she looks young, the power of makeup is insane. xD
Oh man, I am Sooooo proud of X-23, I mean Dafne. Best part of Logan. She is such a good actor. Really hope she returns as Wolverine and brings Gabby aka Honey Badger along with her.👏👏👏
I have not read the books but from what I gleaned from the first two seasons, I believe Dust to be awareness, not necessarily sin, whether it's 'good' or 'bad'.
Yep, that's it, that's the plot. You nailed it. The fundamental conflict between the characters is around whether they believe this "awareness" to be inherently a bad thing (i.e. sin), or whether the concept of sin itself is actually bad or even in any way meaningful.
I think it's definitely partly her acting skills. Somehow when I saw the preview pictures I thought, wow, she looks practically 18 - but the moment you see her actually move and express herself onscreen she's suddenly really convincing as a 12-year-old girl. The fact that she's wearing a tonne of make-up here probably also helps.
Ms. Keen is 15? Oh WOW. So cute. Just started HDM and didn't know the book even existed. I must read now . Looks like it will be interesting. Love the cast.
