The new theatrical trailer for New Line Cinema’s upcoming fantasy adventure The Golden Compass is online at Apple Trailers in standard and HD formats.

The Golden Compass hits theaters December 7, 2007.

This trailer shows a glimpse of Christopher Lee, who plays Lord Boreal, as well as several daemon’s — the animal spirit that embodies a human’s soul, accompanying them throughout their life — in action.

The film’s official site has a Meet Your Daemon feature where you can answer a few personality questions to get your own person daemon avatar.

New Line Cinema announced this week their partnership with the World Wildlife Fund to help educate the public about the impact global warming is having on animals throughout the world.

Through the partnership, you can log on to a special web site at worldwildlife.org/goldencompass to view a panoramic lineup of the animal spirits or “daemons” featured in the film, many of which are the same species that WWF works to protect in the real world. At the site you may show your support for WWF and its message of species protection by “adopting” a real-life animal whose species is featured in the film “” including polar bears, snow leopards, and monkeys “” through the site.

The film, which is based on the first book in Philip Pullman‘s His Dark Materials trilogy, stars Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Ian McShane, and Dakota Blue Richards. Check out the new movies posters over at Yahoo! Movies.
