I want to focus on films that have quite a puzzle/riddle element to them, as I think it could be quite interesting to work with. I would like to try and incorporate a sort of puzzle aspect into my booklet, so they become interactive.
The Golden Compass:
"It was no ordinary life for a young girl: living among scholars in the
hallowed halls of Jordan College and tearing unsupervised through
Oxford's motley streets on mad quests for adventure. But Lyra's greatest
adventure would begin closer to home, the day she heard hushed talk of
an extraordinary particle. Microscopic in size, the magical dust-
discovered in the vast Arctic expanse of the North -was rumored to
possess profound properties that could unite whole universes. But there
were those who feared the particle and would stop at nothing to destroy
it. Catapulted into the heart of a terrible struggle, Lyra was forced to
seek aid from clans, 'gyptians, and formidable armored bears. And as
she journeyed into unbelievable danger, she had not the faintest clue
that she alone was destined to win, or to lose, this more-than-mortal
battle..."

National Treasure:
"Cage plays Benjamin Franklin Gates,
a historian and amateur cryptologist searching for a lost treasure of
precious metals, jewelry, artwork and other artifacts that was
accumulated into a single massive stockpile by looters and warriors over
many millenia starting in Ancient Egypt, later rediscovered by warriors who form themselves into the Knights Templar to protect the treasure, eventually hidden by American Freemasons during the American Revolutionary War. A coded map on the back of the Declaration of Independence points to the location of the "national treasure",
but Gates is not alone in his quest. Whoever can steal the Declaration
and decode it first will find the greatest treasure in history." Taken from Wikipedia
