good. maybe it will get picked up by someone with a little heart and imagination, who doesn't copy the "Lord of The Rings" model again. Call the people who did Shreck. Narnia is supposed to be animated.

I was actually glad that the movies had a LOTR feel to it. Both Lewis and Tolkein were very much friends - in fact, it was Tolkien that Lewis gave credit to for his reversion from atheism, although Tolkien was disappointed that Lewis embraced Anglicanism rather than Tolkien's Roman Catholocism.

That being siad, the two were not very far apart in their approach to literature, nor in major theological doctrine, so it is appropiate that the fi,ms have the same "feel".

This could be a face-saving opportunity for New Line, who have totally screwed up the future Hobbit film due to their financial shenanagans...

"- in fact, it was Tolkien that Lewis gave credit to for his reversion from atheism..."

Read Lewis's spiritual autobiography, Surprised By Joy. He specifically cites GK Chesterton, and Chesterton's book, Everlasting Man, many of the themes and arguments resurface in Lewis's Mere Christianity.

Lord of the Rings, or "LOTR" as you referred to it, was the most painful theatrical torture I have ever sat through.

You must be younger than I am -- the generation that needs to have things pounded into it.

Lewis’ storeies were plot driven with character development secondary. Tolkein’s stories were character driven with the plot being rather thin. Different styles, but both can be successful.
