Eva Green is by far one of the Bureau’s most loved actresses. We went nuts for Eva in Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Dreamers and she continued to steal our love when she co-starred alongside Orlando Bloom in Kingdom of Heaven. Eva has just signed on to star as the queen of witches in The Golden Compass for New Line Cinema.While Nicole Kidman has signed on to play the villain Mrs. Coulter. The film is the first installment of a potential trilogy based on Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Materials." Green will play Serafina Pekula, the witch who guides Lyra Belacqua (played by newcomer Dakota Blue Richards) on her journey to a parallel universe.

Chris Weitz is directing his adaptation of the novel; filming for The Golden Compass begins September 4th at Shepperton Studios in London. New Line has set a November 16, 2007 release.
