Future Trilogy From Pullman?
Interesting bit at the end of the article in TheAlienOnline (http://www.thealienonline.net/ao_030.asp?tid=1&scid=11&iid=1897), which said: "Looking to the future, Pullman has said that that he may produce another trilogy and a future story may well feature Lyra growing up. [Who knows, perhaps she'll date Harry Potter in a Hollywood crossover two decades hence but in Pullman's literary universe instead...]"
Ok, the last bit's just disturbing, but any thoughts on what the first part meant? Surely it doesn't mean a trilogy in the same world as HDM does it? I hope not... I want to see some completely new stuff from Pullman. I hope the bit about Lyra growing up means Lyra's Oxford, but it's worded to sound as if it could be something longer. hmm. any thoughts?

I don't think the author of that story knows what he's talking about... And writing stories in the HDM world wouldn't be that bad... As long as they don't concentrate on the previous main characters...

Hmm... I think it's supposed to mean some non-HDM trilogy and LO.
What's even more disturbing is the fact that they linked to HDM.org as a source and not us, even though we had more complete stage play info days before they did.

Just re-read it, you're right, they're referring to a non-HDM trilogy, and (probably) LO

Well a non-HDM trilogy would be great Yeah, I'm interested to read LO and BOD and all that, but Pullman is way too talented to just stick with the HDM related story for much longer...
Days? Heck, we had detailed info at least a month before they did... and still have way more (but I'm biased...). The writer probably just typed in hisdarkmaterials.com [official book page, so nothing much there...], hisdarkmaterials.net [future official movie site], then hisdarkmaterials.org and found some stuff.... guess they didn't search google for 'his dark materials stage play'... 'cause I'm pretty sure we're the number one result for that.

is there anything at the official site?
well, the way this sentence is written... it's really "pullman has said that he may produce another trilogy," and "pullman has said a future story may well future lyra growing up."

Great Minds Think Alike.
BTW, we are #2 for 'his dark materials stage play' (the Albemarle site is #1).
And jessia's right, it's not necessarily that the trilogy would be about HDM...

alright i suppose i have to stand up for em...uh...nah i'll admit i always come to BTTS for news an updates which is why i finally signed up an all...if i were important over there or something i would post updates like mad, too many technical problems to focus on content it seems....anyway, another trilogy? I could see PP using Lyra's world as a starting place, although I'd figure he would move to London or somewhere else as Oxford is really overcrowded by Lyra. I can't see him going back to the victorian novel after HDM but I could see something more clearly realistic. but i would love it too if PP had a whole new fully developed world, he could do it!

*Waves frantically* I didn't see this topic here. Anyone want to know where thealienonline got that bit of info from? I tracked it down using their list of sources for the stories and here it is in all it's glory:
''He remains, however, "more comfortable with large structures" and promises another "big, baggy book" like the trilogy. It may even feature a familiar heroine. "Lyra constantly surprised me when I was writing the trilogy, and I'm sure there are lots of surprises yet to come," says Philip Pullman. "I can see her growing up ..." ''
And that was from January the second btw..

Will AND Lyra? I certainly don't. As has been said before, that story has come to an end, and should stay that way. I'm anxious for the Book of Dust though... but once that's done, I hope Pullman will start on another full length book or series not HDM related... (btw, welcome to the boards! )

A new trilagy would be good I just hope it has a good a much better ending then the last one did at least.
And would be ok to see it done in HDM universa I dont see why not sice its all in different dimensions.

i loved HDM and honestly, as long as he doesn't do it for the money (cause there always bad then) i would love to see much more of Lyra. LO just made me want more. And knowing that TBOD is not really about Lyra Is Kind of a Let down. dont get me wrong i cant wait to read it and learn more about the secondary people
Side not: anyone know why the pics arbt showin up. most are just question marks. I dont know. im in school so maybe its cause the pic is not on this computer?
This is like ther fourth time ive added to this post.You people gave me a thought. Pullman could do more books (trilogy) it the same HDM universe and what not and not completly related, but ther would have to be some relation between them like maybe running into Serafina or something. mybe some reference to a little girl who stop the world from ending.
