I don't doubt that it does happen, but it didn't happen in the theatre I was in for Star Wars.

The boyfriend and I just saw a trailer for this last weekend. A few seconds into it I was like "OMG - They're making a Narnia movie?!?!?!?! "

The boyfriend says "what? never heard of it."

I've heard a lot of that too! I can't believe there are actually people my age out there who didn't read these books as a kid!

Never read them....

But I did find out an Alpha Gam chapter sister is doing special effects stuff on the movie! Not sure exactly what...I think makeup.

i read the chronicles of narnia when i was in like 2nd or 3rd grade in episcopalian private school (christian allegory, hello?) and when i saw the trailer before star wars, i serioulsy couldn't place it in my mind as the same thing i imagined when i was a child. did no one else have that feeling? i kept thinking throughout the trailer, this is for all the people who read it a long time ago as kids and are "grown up" (whatever that is!!) now...

^I don't know. It was actually very much how I had imagined it. I mean, only watching the movie will I really know but I can't wait. It's very on key from my memories...

Weird. Not only has the head wolf, Fenris Ulf, been renamed Maugrim in the movie but he's been renamed that in the republished new books.

Actually, it's really the other way around. In the original British edition of LLW, his name was Maugrim, and it has remained Maugrim in Britain. The movie, I think, is working from the British editions.

It was changed to Fenris Ulf for the first American edition (not unlike how the British Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone became the American Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone). More recent American editions have gone back to the original Maugrim.

So far as I know, there is no record of why Lewis made the change, but perhaps he wanted to tap into Norse mythology and the character Fenrisulfr. (The name Fenrir Greyback in Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince comes from this same source, Fenrir being another form of the name Fenrisulfr.) This kind of motive seems to lie behind some of his other choices.

It's 11 days away!!! I seriously can't wait...and I've seen that they're already selling advanced tickets. That's a really good idea...

Have you guys seen the latest clip on AOL? It's of the battle scene. Two words: Damn good!

Me? I love them both.

Same here. I think it's interesting that both the Narnia and the Harry Potter books have a lot of interesting references to other things. For example, Dumbledore has a phoenix that goes through death and rebirth, and Aslan in the Narnia books is resurrected after death.

They did a great job with the movie

I am going to wait to post spoilers. The midnight showing I went to was pretty crowded.

Read this-- don't take offense

I loved the Narnia books as a kid.

And random fact... about 2 years ago I went out on a blind date with this guy in LA who works in computer animation. He was working on Aslan, or as he called it, "the lion"!
