New
York
(ANI):
It
looks
like
Nicole
Kidman's
latest
film
"The
Golden
Compass,'
will
not
help
the
actress
boost
her
career
graph.
Kidman's
latest
flicks
like
"The
Stepford
Wives,"
"The
Invasion,"
"Bewitched,"
"The
Interpreter,"
"Dogville" and
"Fur,'
have
fared
badly
at
the
box
office.
And
her
latest
film,
based
on
the
first
book
in
Philip
Pullman's
"His
Dark
Materials" trilogy,
has
received
negative
feedbacks
as
well.
"It
is
a
175
million
dollar
investment
for
New
Line
Cinema,
which
has
been
hurting
ever
since
'The
Lord
of
the
Rings'
trilogy,"
the
New
York
Post
quoted
an
insider,
as
saying.
"People
working
on
the
movie
say
it
is
just
plain
bad,'
the
insider
added.
The
source
said
that
the
movie
depends
too
much
on
computer-generated
images
and
may
slip
with
its
talking,
armored
polar
bear.
However
a
New
Line
rep
defended
the
project,
saying,
"That's
bull.
The
rep
cited
a
quote
from
Ted
Cooper,
the
senior
vice
president
of
Regal
Entertainment
Group,
who
saw
the
movie
at
the
Showeast
convention.
'Cooper
said,
'Golden
Compass
has
been
on
my
radar
for
nearly
a
year
now.
I
perceive
this
as
one
of
the
most
important
films
to
play
throughout
the
holidays,''
the
rep
said.
