I just did a quick search and found the IMDB entry for the Golden Compass, due out according to them in 2005.
The screenplay is being written by Tom Stoppard who wrote the screenplays for Brazil, Empire of the Sun, Shakespeare in Love, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and more. So hopefully it will stay true to the books.
Also some good crib notes on yahoo

I live in the United Kingdom and I wanted to know when the film ‘His dark materials’ (Philip Pullman) will be available to buy in the UK. Will it be released in the USA first?
