On February 11, 2002, following the success of New Line's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the studio bought the rights to Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. In July 2003, Tom Stoppard was commissioned to write the screenplay. Directors Brett Ratner and Sam Mendes expressed interest in the film, but a year later, Chris Weitz was hired to direct after approaching the studio with an unsolicited 40-page treatment. The studio rejected the script, asking Weitz to start...

Several key themes of the novels, such as the rejection of religion and the abuse of power in a fictionalized version of the Church, were diluted in the adaptation. Director Weitz said that "in the books, the Magisterium is a version of the Catholic Church gone wildly astray from its roots", but that the organization portrayed in his film would not...

The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on April 29, 2008. Shortly before the film's release, Weitz suggested that an extended cut of the film could be released on DVD, saying "I'd really love to do a fuller cut of the film"; he further speculated that such a version "could probably end up at two-and-a-half hours." This proposed cut would presumably not include the original ending: MTV reported in December 2007 that Weitz hoped to include that material at the beginning of a possible The Subt...

However, New Line president Toby Emmerich stressed that product...
