"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

It's made by Disney and thus will suck.

Hmmph. They could at least do them in order... :p

And Disney.....bleh.

I'll probably still go and see it, though. Rather good books. I liked Silver Chair and VOTDT the best.

Never been big on CSL, might be good though.

As mildly exciting as this is, they could get it HOPELESSLY wrong......at least the effects budget will be bigger than the BBC drama......:D

Besides, VOTDT was, is, and always will be my fave. :)

Never read Narnia, but am I correct in assuming its more Harry Potter than LOTR and other "serious" literature?

Those books were bad ass.  Used to love reading them in junior high.  I was just thinking about these books a few months ago, wondering if I still had a few copies.  Will I see the movie?  Probably, but I'm the type of guy who doesn't like seeing a movie after reading the book cuz usually the movie rapes all that I enjoyed in the book, leaving it to the interpretation of the screenwriter and director.

No, Rictor. Its Christian allegory, and it rocks beyond belief. In The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis essentially retells the Passion. Interestingly, he gets the story closer to Biblical accuracy than Gibson, since he dwells on the Resurrection and not the crucifiction (entabulation, I guess would be the right word for LWW).

While there is certainly a bit of Harry Potter (English public school children, in the English sense of 'public', meaning 'private'), and more than a bit of the numinous as found in the Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia are almost entirely different in scope and character than either of those other fictional worlds. You owe it to yourself to give the books a thorough reading.

No doubt they'll butcher the story's christian attributes to make it more 'compatible' with other faiths. What Stunaep said, basically.

So is this going to be animated or live-action?
