Pullman interviewed in Scotland on Sunday
In an interview in Scotland on Sunday today, Pullman discusses writing fantasy and escapism, comparisons with Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, his creative instincts and adaptations. “I’ve always thought it was utterly stupid to sell the rights to an adaptation and then moan about the way they do it. If you wrote a strong enough story it will stand up to adaptation. The only thing I’m zealously protective about is the integrity of the story. There was a moment early in the film discussions when somebody high up at the studio said, ‘Let’s make Lyra into a boy.’” Thanks to blacksatindancer for the tip.

There isn’t going to be a sequel. It’s really depressing. I just want a director’s cut at this point.

I remain optimistic. There may not be any sequel in the immediate future, but at some point in our lives there may be, whether they recast or just start the series over. I would rather see the latter.
