Tie-In Book & Game CoversPosted by on August 28, 2007 at 2:25 amAs Scholastic announced back in January and July, various tie-in books to go along with The Golden Compass movie will be released this autumn. They include a “story of the film” offering; an illustrated movie companion and a quizbook. The latest covers for these books are below - as ever, they may change before publication.
Asides from books, many other products will be produced by Scholastic. With over 40 licensing partners worldwide, the company is aiming to release Golden Compass “apparel, home décor, card & DVD board game, food & candy, stationary, gift & novelty and publishing.” Here’s the front cover for one of those items: a “shuffle puzzle book”.

“It seems like the way they’re merchandising the movie makes the movie looks… I don’t know, like kids movies…” It’s because it’s so colourful and curvy, and the cast are posing for the camera like a portrait… Compare the same books for Lord of the Rings: August 28, 2007 1:15 pm | link

There are actually two different pictures of Iorek there, if you’ll look closely. And I do agree that some of the merchandising is a bit overboard, but I still think I’ll be buying some of it. August 28, 2007 11:32 pm | link

Wait… the story of the movie? Meaning they’re rewriting GC to go with the flow of the movie? Oh dear. August 29, 2007 5:40 am | link

i think they don’t catch the spirit of the books at all. They look like the covers on novelizations, which i have never been fond of. i agree that they look juvenile, when they really have a lot of serious themes that aren’t often found in ya and children’s literature (that’s what makes them so good, though.)

Jeez, these things look terrible. August 29, 2007 12:57 pm | link

I think that this is not official, when all this stuff will come out, it will have a very different design…This is my guess, because it don’t relate with nothing. Look at the webpage, it’s perfection, so why then this? You will see that this in not what will come… August 29, 2007 4:33 pm | link

Like… I would make Alethiometer the logo, not Iorek. I mean he’s cool and all but.. C’moon! August 30, 2007 2:25 am | link
Kinders says:
Haley, I suspect that “The Story of the Movie” is in fact “The Story of the Making of the Movie”. August 30, 2007 2:35 am | link
Haley says:
Kinders - I hope so! If they were to make a novelization of the movie…. I’d do something bad. But if it were a “Making of”, I’d actually be very interested. August 31, 2007 9:28 am | link

I don’t know. But it seems like the way they merchadising the movie makes the movie looks… I don’t know, like kids movies. I mean, I think it’s cool all the things they’re doing and all, but I don’t know…
Well, maybe I’m just going nuts.
