Icon10 Narnia!!!!

Anyone see the preview for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe?

I didn't know Disney was doing this until the preview came on during Harry Potter tonight.

I love TCoN! I've read the series at least a dozen times in my adulthood. Fantastic imagery. Incredible allegory. I hope Disney stays true to the story.

Re: Narnia!!!!

I didn't know they were doing this either! CS Lewis is such a brilliant, honest, and comprehendable writer. And his description of Aslan ("He is not safe, but he is good.") is one of the most undisputable and stunning metaphors I've ever encountered. I can't wait to see what Disney does with this.

Re: Narnia!!!!

I knew they were doing this...I just have been DYING for a trailer! I haven't seen one yet! I am soooo excited for this movie, though. It has a huge budget, they're casting mostly unknowns & they have an incredibly special effects team lined up. So it's got a lot of things going for it so far!

Re: Narnia!!!!

Well if they stay as true to the story as they did for Hitchhiker's Guide it should be good. I really enjoyed Hitchhiker's Guide. They did a great job making the book into a movie!

Re: Narnia!!!!

My 8 year old and I can not wait for this movie. We have read them over & over! There was a link through the disney insider to a website about the making of the movie. If I find it, I will post it.

I was going to ask someone who had read Hitchhiker's how true it was to the book. I haven't read it, and I'm always curious when I see "books to movies" in the theater. Glad to hear they stayed true to the story. I hope they do the same with Narnia!

C.S. Lewis not only had wonderful talent, but there was more to the story than a lot of readers saw. And that subtle story line is the really important one.

It's a great book as is the Narnia tales.

Re: Narnia!!!!

Well, as usual there's been a threadjack.

I thought HGTTG was a good movie, but not entirely true to the book.

...and seriously, BRING YOUR TOWEL to the film. I had mine in the car and chickened out. During the entire movie I kept wishing I had my towel.

In fact, if I see it again, I'll have my towel, and I'll go wearing pajamas & a bathrobe!
