Wonder How these cute kids would look like circa 2007...

I found Prince Caspian to be the hardest of the Narnia books to get into. Horse and his Boy and Magicians Nephew--I can't wait for those!

[orionblamblam]

His ride is ready, at any rate.

Whoever in the Disney group that cast those kids in "Narnia" delivered a masterpiece of choice!!! In fact, the whole cast was outstandingly chosen. Well, I guess class always comes through. When I look at the revenues of Brokeback Mountain, Good Night & Good Luck, Syriana, Munich, etc., I laugh to all ends. These retard failure pictures alltogether can't reach $100M in revenue, but Narnia is at $250M stateside and about $250M internationally. I predict Narnia will end up with about $600M in combined revenue. The fudge packers and America haters are not having a good day!!!

Well, if Harry Potter can do it....

These stories aren't on quite the epic scale of LOTR or even Harry Potter. I'd imagine they could be produced a bit more quickly. I hope to see three more movies at least -- Prince Caspian, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and the Last Battle. If they can keep up the quality, I'm sure the box office sales will be there ... not to mention the DVD sales. I know I'll buy The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as soon as possible.

[Chanticleer]

Good ones, but they don't deal with the Pevensies as much. I predict they'll stick with that line, unless the films do incredibly well. If they do them right, I'd enjoy all seven.

I was impressed with the ice queen casting

[Blood of Tyrants]

The tales are good for children, but as an adult Christian, I can see so much deeper into the sympology that the stories are outstanding!

[RepoGirl]

I really loved The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe--it was the movie I've been waiting to see since I was 7! I only hope that if they make all seven, the quality won't diminish (although hotly contested on the Freep, I think the Harry Potter films have gotten better, oddly.

But I wonder if you're right--they'll focus on the Pevensie kids. Lucy appears in Dawn Treador, and then they all appear in Last Battle. Am I missing any?

[Blood of Tyrants]

I think I liked Prince Caspian the best followed by the Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

bump for publicity

From the books timeline, Prince Caspian is after the war, so the kids would naturally have aged several years.

[Malacoda]

I'm holding out for "Voyage of the Dawn Treader." Imagine the dufflepuds!

[Blood of Tyrants]

They are all back for Prince Caspian, too.

[Chanticleer]

Oh, absolutely. A delight at all levels.

[NJConservative]

They are all in a few chapters of "A Horse and His Boy" as well.

[Chanticleer]

They are mentioned in The Silver Chair but don't have a big role in it.

>>>I was impressed with the ice queen casting


Absolutely! She was both ugly and beautiful at the same time. She was perfect for that role though.

[Politicalmom]

Ah, but they can always go back and do the non-Pevensie stories afterwards, since they can can use all-new actors for The Magician's Nephew, and they might be able to get away with re-casting Eustace to do The Silver Chair.

[madconservative]

Do you suppose they are skipping "The Horse and His Boy" because of the aging of the actors, the "delicate" subject matter of the Calormenes (who are clearly allegorical of Muslims), or some other reason?
