Narnia Books Being Made Into Movies? ROCK ON!
For those who haven't heard: C.S. Lewis' classic novel The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardobe is going to be adapted to the Big Screen!! Details:
1. Andrew Adamson Director of "Shrek" will helm the film. 2. Weta the now famous FX Department because of Lord of the Rings will do the effects for the Narnia film. 3. The Movie is due in theaters in Mid 2004...no EPIC wait! lol 4. There seem to be reports that they have rights to all the Narnia Books. 5.Doug Gresham, Lewis' step-son is co-producing the film. He is pleased about the movie being made. So! Now for much debate and YOUR thoughts. I'm delighted! Something cool after LOTR  Any casting ideas? I'm for Andy Serkis as Mr. Tumnus! I've met him in person and he looks like the role. Visit the Official Movie Website: www.narnia.com !!!

No, you're not. At least, if you are, then I am too, cos I remember watching a cartoon version.
 there's also a BBC miniseries, IIRC.

Yes Virginia there WAS a cartoon version.
sadly I don't think the BBC production really did it justice. I think it partly maimed my vision of the books. Hopefully the new Narnia movie will fix that. I mean if you watched Bakshi's LOTR...that doesn't mean LOTR HAS to have characters who seem to have hip problems right? lol. I better sleep before I say something dumb. lol

There was also a real-life version of TltWatW made. We used to own, but I don't know what happened to it...
I hope the big-screen film is as good as the books and holds close to Lewis's Christian perspective

I have a lot of faith in this project being the definitive The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe film, just because of the names attached to the production. This could turn out to be really good. I'd normally be sceptical of such a project, but it's in very good hands.

This is being discussed in the Narnia topic in the Fantasy and Sci-Fi forum, I believe. Maybe a merge is in order?

It will not be titled "The One Hudred Year Winter", however, as that is only the working 'title'.  Seems ok so far....but, as always, you can never feel to comfortable when people are taking one of your favorite classics and doing whatever they wish to it. let's hope they keep their heads...Last edited by jellyfishannah : 12-10-2003 at 10:39 PM. |

I won't be going to this one. I read all the books to my kids when they were young and they were, in my opinion, of no merit whatsoever. I will never understand why they continue to sell. I am guessing that parents are force-feeding it to their children as I did. You know what they remind me of? When a bad director just gives the actors spots on the stage and they shift and stand and talk at each other. That's what Narnia was like for me. It wasn't the action but the didactic dialogue that motivated the writer. In the end, even my kids were hoping to get on to another series. We read The Hobbit next and they were a lot more interested.

A cinamatic version has not been made. About 15 years ago (give or take a few) the BBC did The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe; Prince Caspian and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader; and The Silver Chair and were shown on PBS.

I think we can safely assume that he doesn't like Narnia.
Myself, I liked the first books very much (had already watched the BBC-version) but it's such a long time now since I read them... However, the last book got way too christian to me. The start was good, but then it seems like Lewis suddenly wanted to preach (even as a kid this had little effect on me and I ended up very sceptical to Christianity).
