Northern Lights Auditions!
Open auditions have begun in the UK for the girl who will play Lyra Belacqua of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, and I nominate my daughter Allie. I don't care if she's ten years too young and not British, she can crawl through pipes just like Lyra! I'm especially curious as to who will play Lyra's dad. And of course, the polar bear.
That's right, I didn't call it The Golden Compass auditions. We Americans know what the northern lights are, you don't have change titles for us all the time...
