George R.R. Martin cited this movie as one of the reasons he wanted Game of Thrones (2011) to be turned into a television series, rather than movies.
Years after the film's release, director Chris Weitz revealed that despite him being a fan of the books, making the movie was a "terrible experience" for him because New Line Cinema constantly interfered. Weitz' original script had a much slower pace, allowing for more world-building, character development, and exposition. The studio forced him to scrap elements that weren't immediately essential to the plot, and tone down the religious subtext. They also overruled several casting decisions and took over editing to get the running time under two hours, which necessitated re-shoots and the re-arranging of several other scenes to make the film coherent again. The most radical intervention was removing the original downbeat ending from the final cut, intending to use it as the opening of a proposed sequel (which never happened).
The name "Serafina Pekkala" originated when Philip Pullman browsed through a Finnish telephone directory.
Philip Pullman, author of the "His Dark Materials" trilogy, originally wanted Jason Isaacs to play Lord Asriel, Nicole Kidman to play Mrs. Coulter, and Samuel L. Jackson to play Lee Scoresby.
Despite prominent billing, Sir Christopher Lee only had one line.
"Ragnar Sturlusson: Is that all? [hits Iorek] Ragnar Sturlusson: Is that all? IS THAT AAAALL? [Iorek swings at him and breaks his lower jaw off, then bites him in the throat, killing him] Iorek Byrnison: Yes, that is all."
"Lyra Belacqua: If you value your lives, come no further. Billy Costa: Why? We gobbled him fair and square. Lyra Belacqua: This ain't no game, Billy Costa. Don't you know what this gate is? Billy Costa: It's just the back door to your stupid college. So? Lyra Belacqua: There's a curse on this gate. You gyptians ought to know that. Crossing this gate is worse than touching someone's demon with your bare hands. Billy Costa: Why ain't nothing happen to you, then? Lyra Belacqua: Because we live here. We got safe passage, see? And anyway, my mother's the one who put the curse on this gate in the first place. Billy Costa: What mother? I heard you was an orphink and your uncle only left you here cause' nobody wanted you. Lyra Belacqua: Come here and say that."
