The song that she was writing wasn’t finished for the film, because it was said to be too dark for it. […]

A little bird has told us that Douglas Gresham (stepson of C.S. Lewis, and Narnia co-producer) recently attended a series of Prince Caspian meetings in Los Angeles.

J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis in a Buddy Movie

Since The Lord of the Rings’ success, there have been many fantasy films released to try to cash in on the success. I think it’s a breath of fresh air, as far as movies are concerned.

Editorial: A Divine Tactfulness

There are Narnia fans, on the explicitly Christian side of the house, who are just a little uneasy about elements in the recent movie which seemed, if only slightly, to diminish Aslan’s status as Deity. To them I would say, “Have confidence in Douglas Gresham’s hand at the helm.” I believe that Mr. Gresham, and those who pay heed to him, are trying to be diplomatic about Aslan’s identity as Christ. What I mean by that–what I believe they have in mind–is something with Scriptural precedent. […]
