Newline and Scholastic are producing a movie on the first book of the Triology.
IMHO it's a great series. I can see the comparisons that plenty of people have made with HDM and LOTR, since both have incredibly deep histories and languages created just for the series. The series is selling quite well here in the US, and I do recommend it as a good read. The audiobook read by Philip Pullman is also a very good and worthwhile listen. I do NOT however recommend the BBC rendition of the trilogy. There are several other smaller books that have been written about HDM such as Lyra's Oxford and a companion guide.
I met Philip Pullman a couple years ago at a symposium where he spoke at a local college and fielded questions about his trilogy and other writings. He's a nice man.
