Anyone know any more info about the Narnia movies?

Anglorfin · 06-24-2003, 02:02 PM

There's going to be Narnia Movies? Where have I been?

I should read the books again.

IP have told me about the CoN movies a few months ago when i was doing my book report on the books. Cant wait. Those are great books.

Gwaimir Windgem · 07-13-2003, 01:39 AM

They sure are. I recently got a single-volume "Complete Chronicles of Narnia" book, and am looking forward to getting it out and reading it (After I settle down, and read the books I haven't read yet (excluding HoMe, which I think will take a long time).

I heard about this yesterday:

Looks good

hectorberlioz · 12-05-2003, 02:43 AM

anyone heard that a lion witch and the wrdrobe movie is bieng made?
the dir. of shrek is directing...which is not a good choice at all...but, c.s lewis's grandson said he wont let the movie be released unless it stays extremely close to the book...

My family has been trying to collect the BBC/Wonderworks videos, but I don't think they ever got past The Silver Chair... They don't seem to have had much of a budget, but the movies they've done are great. I greatly admire C.S. Lewis too, and I love both the fantasy/adventure and the allegory aspects of the books. (This is another thing that my whole family loves and assigns roles for--I ended up as the White Witch in this one.)

The original order:

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
Prince Caspian
Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Silver Chair
The Horse and His Boy
The Magician's Nephew
The Last Battle

Some other publishing company recently put TMN first and THaHB third, but just ignore that and read them in the order Lewis intended!

Well actually, Lewis said he PREFERED the CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.

I actually like the published order better, then you get more of a flow in the history of the children. The Horse and His Boy sort of breaks in and disturbs for me.

Movienews from Walden are probably the most reliable, check out http://www.walden.com/lww.html For a while the name of John Howe was on the crewlist, but now it´s gone, so I guess he´s not in after all.

I have read the chronicles of narnia many times. My mom read The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe to me when I was little. I hope pj makes it, but not over The Hobbit. Lewis and Tolkien were good freinds and Tolkien was a devoted catholic.

Dwarven Sen · 02-18-2004, 06:35 AM

i love these books, read them again over christmas. My favourite was always Last Battle. I don't understand how anyone can start reading the series without beginning with L,W&W. Surely it wouldn't make sense?

**Nurvingiel** · 07-30-2005, 06:17 PM

*bump* I started a thread on these books too, but now I can't find it.

Actually, it does make sense to start with "The Magician's Nephew" too. Chronologically, it works that way.

Starting with LWW makes MN a great prequel, which works too.

rohirrim TR · 08-10-2005, 05:11 PM

could some one start a narnia trivia thread? it seems like there are a lot of narnia fans around that would dig it

tomstheman · 08-15-2005, 09:15 PM

What amazes me most about CoN is that it has something for everyone. I mean when you read them as a kid you think they're just a great story, but if you reread then again as an adult you realize that C.S. Lewis actually had a lot more going on in his head than you thought as a kid. Another amazing fact is that when C.S. Lewis started the CoN he was an atheist, but when he finished he was a Christian. Which is one of the reasons that he portrayed Aslan as Jesus Christ. It's amazing or at least i think it is.

inked · 08-18-2005, 10:02 PM

tomstheman,

Your timeline is off, good sir. Mr Lewis was a Christian convert and apologist for many years before he wrote TCON. You might enjoy his autobiography, SURPRISED BY JOY.

I know what you mean, but I actually LOVED that book. It has to be my second favorite next to The Last Battle.

The descriptions of running at incredible speed, but never sweating or getting tired...that's gotta be what heaven is like!

rohirrim TR · 09-28-2005, 09:08 PM

well chronologically, is very debateable ... it was written AFTER LWW and CS Lewis refers to the previous story in that book .... so it would be bad form imho opinion to put that first...

LWW establishes the story, the world, some characters, aslan etc ...
Magician nephew is definately a back story .... and chronologically (in England) after Peter,Susan etc have been to Narnia

by ALL our timelines here on earth it is chronologically AFTER LWW.

Curubethion · 10-05-2005, 12:09 AM

I like Lewis' original order, because then all of the information falls into place the right way. He wrote LWW first, and then went back and wrote all of the background to fit it. That should be the order it's read in.

Lenya · 10-22-2005, 05:59 PM

I see many of you have read these books when you were children. I didn't and I must say I regret it. It's just not such a big thing in South Africa. I read them this year and they were great. But make no mistake, I'll read them to my children one day

Them, and all possible Dr. Suess books.
