::nods and giggles around the room:: I'll admit I was skeptical when I first heard about it, but the trailer has me sold. Wanna see this one in a theater.

WOW.

See, if you are going to use CGI, THAT is how it should be used.
...

...saaay....considered the title, and the fact that Harry Potter is already doing it with books less easily adapted, do you think they'll go serial and do all seven?

::nodnodnod:: Yeah. Just enough to pack 10 times more punch than "Teh SHINEY!" that's done.

See, I sat down to watch with a "what the hell, why not I'm bored", thinking "ok, so it looks fairly as expected, and huh, the wolves, coo-"

Fenris speaks 2 words, and I'm falling in love with this story all over again. FAR more punch.

As for serials, IMDB says "Walden has optioned the entire seven-part "Chronicles of Narnia" fantasy book series for film development" - though they don't have any links to any proposed sequels.

::hopes. Rather a lot:: I always wanted to see A Horse and His Boy on some sort of screen.

I'm looking forward to seeing it...


...even though I've never read the books (I know, I know... deprived).

Well, this could be a good way to get into it. ^_^
