You know that the whole of The Golden Compass novel didn't make it to the big screen, and that the Director has said the closing sections from the novel are actually being moved onto the start of the second film, despite being filmed.

Well someone has managed to grab a copy of the original ending sequence and post it online, so if you can't wait for the second film you can catch a glimpse now.

Okay this isn't a great copy but it does show you what you're missing from the end of the film. Now I haven't actually seen the film as yet, so I'm not sure where this fits in, and I'm not really going to watch it.

So any Filmstalker's out there who have been to see the film and are feeling brave, why don't you have a look at the following footage and tell everyone else what effect you think it would have had on the film if it had been included.

The link comes through Rope of Silicon.
