No Plans for "Golden Compass" Sequel

Dakota Blue Richards has said she is not sure if there will be a sequel to "The Golden Compass." The film was based on the first book in Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy but the actress said she had not been informed of any plans to adapt the remaining two.
The movie, starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, did not perform as well as expected in the US, although it was a hit in Europe. It was also slammed by the Catholic Church for "promoting a cold and hopeless world without God."
The 13-year-old, who played the lead role of Lyra Belacqua, told Teletext: "I think they are going to see how it does when it opens in Japan. It's set in Oxford so it is going to be better received here."
At this point, the visual effects wizards at Rhythm & Hues have already completed the opening scene for the possible sequel, and "Golden Compass" has brought in over $330 million in worldwide ticket sales. Even though it cost $180 million to make, the price of the second installment would drop drastically since most of the effects have already been prepped. The only reason why the studio might be reluctant to proceed, is due to the fact that most of the earning would have to come from outside of the US.
