Disney has produced two Narnia films so far The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian. Following Prince Caspian's less than stellar box office numbers, the series was dropped by Disney and picked up by Fox. The next movie The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is in production, with the budget and script being finalized. Resuming their roles will be Ben Barnes as Prince Caspian; Georgie Henley as Lucy; Skandar Keynes as Edmund; and William Poulter has been cast as Eustace.
What do you think of the two Narnia movies so far? Do you think Fox can improve on Disney? Are there other productions of the Narnia series that are worth looking into? Personally, I loved Lion, Witch, Wardrobe, but I thought Prince Caspian fell far short of the mark. At one point I had absolutely no idea what was going on because the script had gotten so far from the book (I had horrible flashbacks of Goblet of Fire...wait, that's a whole 'nuther thread  ). I was glad to hear that production would continue, though. Hopefully they can get the magic of the first movie back, Dawn Treader is my favorite of the books, and I will be anxious to see what they do with it.I'm not familiar with William Poulter, but he sure looks the part of bratty Eustace! |
