One of the most asked questions about The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, is whether or not there would be an Extended Edition of the film. It looks like that question has just been answered. It’s interesting to note, that the current film pretty well covers all of the material found in the book. There were a few things that were skipped, and there’s room for more scenes there. There are also a few characters that could stand to have a little more depth added. Aslan, for instance, could be fleshed out a bit more.
USA Today spoke with director Andrew Adamson, who was just signed on to direct Prince Caspian, and the article went on:
Still in theaters, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe has grossed $278 million. The film arrives on DVD April 4 in two versions: a $30 single-disc version and a $40 two-disc set that includes nearly 10 hours of features. Both DVDs have two commentaries from Adamson: one with producer Mark Johnson and production designer Roger Ford and another with the child cast members.
“You get a little bit of their perspective,” Adamson says. “It’s really fun to see the experience through their eyes.” A DVD with an extended version of the film is also in the works, he says.
