His Dark Materials Trailer Is Everything We Could Have Ever Wished For

Once upon a time, there was a great novel trilogy called His Dark Materials, and once upon a time, there was a studio that obtained rights to it in hopes of turning it into the next Lord of the Rings-sized franchise. Unfortunately, said studio lost faith in the core premise of the series, and as a result, forced the film to tackle it in a toothless fashion.

Additionally, they forced the film into a shorter cut, making it feel like it was just going through the motions of the plot without much narrative drive. Now, 12 years later, we have a chance to see that awfulness rectified in the HBO and BBC series, a new trailer for which has just been released.

Below is the official synopsis for His Dark Materials:

His Dark Materials stars Dafne Keen, James McAvoy, Ruth Wilson and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Adapting Philip Pullman’s award-winning trilogy of the same name, which is considered a modern masterpiece of imaginative fiction, the first season follows Lyra, a seemingly ordinary but brave young woman from another world. Her search for a kidnapped friend uncovers a sinister plot involving stolen children, and becomes a quest to understand a mysterious phenomenon called Dust. As she journeys through the worlds, including our own, Lyra meets Will, a determined and courageous boy. Together, they encounter extraordinary beings and dangerous secrets, with the fate of both the living — and the dead — in their hands.”

I’m not one to get overly excited…but I’ll be truly disappointed if this series gets ruined a second time. Then again, if that does end up happening, they can always try again in another decade or two.
