New photos of Kidman as Coulter
Posted by Merlyn on September 25, 2006 at 4:21 pm
Many new photos of Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter on the set of The Golden Compass appeared today on the internet, this time with Kidman in a different costume - described by People Magazine as “all-business” for those of you who weren't too pleased with the first costume we saw. View the photos. The fellow all in black and with the gold chain around his neck appears to be the actor playing Fra Pavel, whilst Chris Weiz can be seen giving directions in some others.

I think she looks fantastic and she will be great in the role, For all the naysayers about to post and complain about hair color and all the other meaningless nits, you must remember, Nicole is a great actress, at least IMO. She is going to be awesome.

She looks like the Lyra of my imagination in that photo.

Derek says:

She looks fantastic!!!!!!! Love the look on her face, lol!

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Skye says:

Yes, definitely wonderful!

I think that the audiobook influenced my image of the characters more than anything else, and this picture fits in nicely.

Burke says:

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! She looks amazing. Love that outfit.

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Amy says:

She looks perfect.

Christobel says:

That costume looks totally perfect for the time period/universe that HDM is set in. And I guess I can now see Nicole as Mrs. Coulter.

Ruta Skandi says:

I can't understand why you people care more about her outfits than her hair!! I mean a short haired blonde Mrs. Coulter is like a red head Harry Potter!!! Or even better, a long haired, brunette Lyra!! I think that Nicole's face looks perfect, but COME ON HAIR DEPARTMENT!! BRING OUT THE HAIR DYE!!

Ashe says:

I think she looks beautiful! I love the color and the fur trim. I wonder when we'll be getting some pictures of Craige as Asriel or even Dakota! Now that will be exciting. :smile:

Creed says:

This photo has officially turned me onto the idea of Kidman as Coulter. I see it now.

Still wish the hair was brown but she looks great.

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Kirk says:

:smile: She looks more gorgeous than I ever in my wildest dreams imagined her to. The outfits they've designed for her fit the prestige of her character perfectly.

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Denny says:

Just by looking at her face it looks like she captured Mrs. Coulter. I knew she had it in her though.

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Kristen says:

She looks awesome! I think she'll do fine. Anyways- I don't mind the hair (it's not too bad). I don't know about you, but I prefer a good actor to a perfect look-a-like (take into example the HP movies).

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Alewyn says:

And in People mag no less. That's brilliany, she looks absolutely gorgeous and icily Coulter.

She looks great.

She is perfect.

I think nicole kidman is really great as mrs coulter, first i didn´t think so, but now i absolutely do. she looks great, her outfits are perfect and she is a great actress.
But i´m really disappointed because of the hair. mrs coulter is my favourit character and i think it´s really important for her to have black hair! its important as she is a cruel character first and now with the blond hair it destroys my picture of mrs coulter.

Witch-girl says:

Man, thank goodness, Nicole looks so much better in that deep maroon suit, than she ever did in that pale camel one, I think! :wassat: :wink:

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Entilzha says:

Who's the guy in the black outfit with the golden…something…around his neck???

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Willl says:

It looks to me very much like the actor playing Fra Pavel.

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Mockingbird says:

Look at those shoes! And the mens' suits. Its so like our world, some odd years ago, but just a little different. That's about right, isn't it?

I wonder if the younger looking man, with the mop of black hair, talking to 'Fra Pavel' is Chris Weitz?

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Adiam21 says:

This becomes more and more badly with the hair.First blond now short.I thought her hair is only pinned up. :angry: :angry:

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Holly says:

I like Coulter's hair blonde - to me it says 'ice'. I've always imagined it blonde, even though the books say differently. And to whoever pointed out the HP films - exactly! Dan Radcliffe may look like Harry, but boy can he NOT act. Thank goodness we have a good actor like Nicole, even if she is blonde, than a bad actress who was a brunette.

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Par says:

Yes, the guy with the dark hair & thick eyebrows is Chris Weitz.

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

George says:

OMG!!! Nicole looks perfect. Those shoes?!?!?!?!?!? Ugh, I can't wait to see this. I'm so pumped up now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Alewyn says:

the last pic is really nice, I can totally imagine that scene

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

mysterygal says:

that costume on nicole is so much better than the last.i didnt like the old one. and i thought she had long hair? :wassat:

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

rAwr says:

A-ha.
I just realized who "Fra Pavel" is. That nice, British man in "Friends with Money". He should be good in this.

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

mysterygal says:

she would look better with long hair…

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Skye says:

If it *is* Fra Pavel… Why is he in this movie, anyway? He's not in TGC at all, unless I'm mistaken.
He's an unimportant character, isn't he? The Church just needs someone to read the alethiometer so they can get information. Why are we seeing pictures of him?

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Willl says:

Way back when Tom Stoppard was still writing the script, he mentioned bringing forward certain characters in order to give more identifyable villains already on. That means Hugh McPhail and Fra Pavel's lot; in the trilogy they only appear in the last book - it makes more sense to bring them forward so they're present from the first film.

stippie says:

i really can't wait till there'll be pictures of dakota blue richards. :smile:

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

MCH says:

stippie: me neither!
most other people: GET OVER THE HAIR!!! I agree with Holly, although I do think Dan Radcliffe's getting better. Anyway… I really like the suit! She just looks so refined like that!

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Entilzha says:

This latest outfit is pretty great, very Coulteresque. I'll take the boots, thank you. Now, does anyone know if Lord Boreal is going to be in this film?

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

MCH says:

Entilzha - I don't know if he is or not, but he should be, shouldn't he? And you might have to fight with me over those boots… :smile:

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

william says:

It's difficult to imagine a daemon in this shot no?? I wonder how they will introduce the daemons, also in the pictures don't seem that the caracthers hava daemons….very intriguing….

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

FB says:

Which "shot"? I see pictures, but not a shot in the sense of a shot from a film. The actual shots from the film will be better staged. I hope..

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

GK4 says:

Total speculation in this question:

If that is Fra Pavel, is that an alethiometer around his neck?

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Amy says:

Wow…Nicole Kidman sure looks tall in that suit - but I wish it was a tad bit more flattering. I think the jacket style elongates her torso a bit much but I am LOVING the boots! I think she'll make a fantastic Mrs. Coulter!

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Larz says:

Even though Mrs. Coulter is supposed to have dark hair, I like the blonde. Nicole has that ice cold look down and the brilliant blonde hair just accentuates the look. I'm glad they didn't try to dye her hair or put it in a wig. It would have dullened Nicole, and in these photos she's striking to look at (which, we can all agree, Mrs. Coulter should be).

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

aklebury says:

Although I couldn't care less about the colour of Mrs. Coulter's hair, I find it odd that Nicole Kidman hasn't died it black. Her hair has been died various colours (including black) for her previous films…

Weird!

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Eskimo says:

Is it just me or is she pregnant? There is definitly a tell-tale bump around her middle, and in the first shots (white dress) she was looking a bit more plump than I remembered. I'm hoping not, since who knows how it'll mess up with filming, but good news to her if she is!

November 30, 1999 12:00 am | link

Tona says:

She looks gorgeous. I'm really excited for that movie :laughing:
