About Me
- Name: Levi Nunnink
- Location: Northern California
I would like to be known first and foremost as standard Christian - the kind that believes Jesus meant what he said about himself, even the scary stuff. I'm married to a smokin-hot girl. I'm a dad of 3 very-cute kids. I'm a failed rockstar and aspiring novelist. I don't like building web sites as much as some people but I run a business that does just that.

Hey Levi, you know those lame books "Hid dark Materials" the ones about Lyra and her "demon"? I for got to tell you that after the second book, I started hating them. I hated where the books were going. Guess what? They are making a movie out of them!
"Plot Summary for
His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass (2006)
Adaptation of the Carnegie Medal-winning novel by Pullman, the first volume in the His Dark Materials trilogy. In a parallel Oxford, young Lyra Belacqua begins a dimension-crossing odyssey that builds from a merely atypical children's adventure into a complex (and frequently quite dark) philosophical epic."
There's a kid's movie my kid's won't be seeing!!
I've been casually following the development of that film and I'm not too sure that it's even going to happen. They also just read an article talking about how they removed all the refrences to God and The Church, not wanting to offend anyone. Hollywood's not out to make a statement over money. Especially after the sucess of films the The Passion and the bomb of lefty films like Alexander.
Still, why would I want to go watch Lyra for 2+ hours? I think I'd rather sit through the latest Carrot Top flick.
"Weitz emphasized that his exit was not tied to any creative differences regarding the project, and he expressed satisfaction that New Line is planning to move forward with the script he penned for the film.
"Working on The Golden Compass has been an extraordinary high point of my career," said Weitz. "It will be an extraordinary film, but at this point in my life I am not the right director to bring it to pass. Though I remain honored to continue serving as caretaker of Philip Pullman's work on the page as this project's screenwriter, the technical challenges of making such an epic are more than I can undertake at this point. I look forward to retaining my place as screenwriter and helping to bring Mr. Pullman's epic vision to cinematic life. I deeply appreciate his support, and the understanding of everyone at New Line in allowing me to step aside."
New Line has received interest from a number of accomplished filmmakers about taking over the reins of His Dark Materials, and the studio is currently in the process of deciding on a new director.
"His Dark Materials is an amazing story, and at this point we have such a strong screenplay, I'm confident we'll have real interest from A-level filmmakers," said New Line production president Toby Emmerich. "Chris over-delivered on the script, and I can only respect him for being realistic about the physical, emotional, and technical demands of the project."
Pullman added, "I chose New Line Cinema not only because of their profound technical expertise when it comes to this sort of film-making, but mainly because of their evident commitment to the values and the heart of this particular story. They know the importance of what it says about human freedom, and they want to say it with force and clarity."
~This was from a press release on Dec. 15th. I find it disturbing that the same company that gave us The Lord of the Rings is commited to this project.
