This movie is still in production and stars Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, and Sam Elliot. It's based on the first book in a series by Philip Pullman and would be science fiction based, targeted for younger readers. That being said, I've read the entire series thus far and it's rocktacular!
Here is the IMDB movie synopsis- Lyra Belaqua, living in Oxford's Jordan College, is not but a young girl living among scholars. Her world may seem diverse, from physical embodiments of souls that take the shape of an animal, but similar with people around you to become friends and enemies. She is thrown into a perilous adventure when she overhears a conversation of an extraordinary microscopic particle, Dust. This particle is said to unite different worlds, and is feared by many who want to destroy it forever. As Lyra is flung into the middle of this horrible struggle, she meets wondrous creatures both big and small, and villains who are not what they seem. Gobblers, that kidnap children, will turn out in the most unexpected places. And a magical compass of gold that will answer any question if one is skilled enough to read it. Lyra's adventure continues throughout these three books, and the first is about to be told.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it will be something you should at least rent when released, the books are great however and I'd say they are somewhere between Harry Potter and Narnia in feeling. If anyone wants to read them I will lend them to you.
