I hope this movie does well because if does I heard that they will continue to make the rest of the Narnia series into movies and I really hope that does happen! It looks incredible and I really want to see The Horse and His Boy made into a movie that was my favorite book...
 
I personally like the order they usually do them in. I think that The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is good, because you DON'T need to read The Magician's Nephew to understand what's going on. It's basically setting up the whole land of Narnia and telling this wonderful story. Then after you know more and care about the land, the characters, you learn how things came to be. They are taking the indirect approach and I personally think it's effective.

Ok, on the website you have to hover on the Lion image at the top of the screen, click on "The Movie," then click on the Production Room. Took me forever to figure that out! :lol:
 
Uh...well, then the site might be wrong?

See - The Magician's Nephew was started before The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe, but not completed until long afterward. So yes, technically it was done afterwards, but the idea for it came first, and was conceived by C. S. Lewis as the beginning of the series from the very beginning.

At least, that's what I found out years ago when I was looking into the books.

And I have to say that I never thought the books were religious in content, even though I knew they were. That is, when I first read them as a child I had no idea there were religious overtones, then I found out as a late teen that there were, and I stopped re-reading them. However, when I recently came back to reading them again I didn't find that the content had very much overt religion - quite the opposite - so I wound up kicking myself for not having re-read them for all these years.

Makes sense?
 
I read "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" years ago and I don't remember much about it. But I just saw the trailer tonight during Harry Potter, and it looked so good! I was already sort of interested, but now I'm more excited. It looks very cool and like something that would be right up my alley. I love that WETA is working on it too; they did a phenomenal job in LOTR. :D
 
THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE - OFFICIAL TRAILER!

:eek: The trailer is FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!
 
i remember having the book as a kid. geez i loved that story... i cant wait till i see the movie
 
According to MilliVanilli the new official site is up:



Looks nice - kind of reminds me of the HP official sites.

ETA - why do they always start with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe? Do they really feel it's more accessible to young people?

Maybe that's true - I wouldn't know - but I rather liked the first book. Explained a lot.
 
OMG! THE TEASER LOOKED INCREDIBLE!!! It does look like an magnificent epic... I loved when Peter looked at his sword.... and was going to pull it out...:swoon: And Aslan was perfect... everything was... so excited!
 
Yay! I was gonna watch Harry Potter anyways, now this really gives me a reason! :D
 
Prince Caspian version of chronicles of Narnia series just added one more feather to the Chronicles of Narnia series. The movie is fantastic.
 
LOL - i hear ya... i have already watched it a TON! And every time I notice new stuff :)

Not sure about the voice of Aslan. I have heard a bunch of rumors but nothing defined. Anyone you think would be good?
 
I'm definitely looking forward to this! I think it's going to be the biggest film of the year. I can't wait for a trailer.
 
In the set that I have 'The Magicians Nephew' is numbered number one and it's first in the all-in-one book I have as well. Weird. If it wasn't published first, when was it published?
 
The first book is 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.' The 'Magician's Nephew' is about events *before* the first book but it's not the first in the series. I've read them a dozen times or more. I'm such a nerd.

I remember watching the movies. I think they were made-for-tv or straight to video stuff.

I heard about this about two months ago from a classmate but hadn't heard much else.

I think they have taken down all the copies of the trailer (bummer - I really wanted to see it!), but I just read that they are showing it during Harry Potter this Saturday night - yay!!
