Chronicles of Narnia!
So these were like my favorite books as a kid and I'm soooo excited that they're coming out with the Lion, Witch and Wardrobe! I googled it and found a cool trailer from Apple . . . what do you guys think? I think it looks soooo good!

Hey, no need to go ragging on JK Rowling. After all, she acknowledges Lewis as a major influence on her own writing.
Me? I love them both.

The wonderful world of "Narnia".

SO cool....I'm a little wary since it's a Disney film, but I can hope for the best.

The Seattle Children's Theater did this as a play about a year and a half ago and it was SO good. I was so excited when I saw that a movie was coming out.

I think you can indeed hope for the best. My understanding is that CS Lewis's step-son, Douglas Gresham (who controls the rights to the books), kept veto power when he sold the movie rights. My understanding is that he can veto any part of the script. That should make sure that the adaptation is faithful.

Yeah, it's coming out Dec. 9... can that come ANY quicker???
MysticCat - I agree, i think that they will do a great job and the reason they chose the production staff they did is because they all swore to remain faithful to Lewis's vision.
What'd you guys think of the trailer? Mermaids are sweet!

I am going to be furious if they gloss over the main point of the series which is, after all, a Christian allegory. Especially in The Last Battle, when everything comes together and you know for sure who Aslan really is.
