We know straight from themselves that Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus again share writing duties on Voyage of the Dawn Treader. We were also told that the third draft was recently completed. Now, writer Steven Knight joins them to help write it.
Walden Media is becoming a publisher, partnering with HarperCollins Children’s Books to launch Walden Pond Press.
As part of the multiyear pact, the venture will acquire and publish books for young readers. Naturally, it also plans to turn several of its tomes into film adaptations or pair up properties with other filmmakers.
First published title will be “The Will of Will Wolfkin,” by screenwriter Steven Knight, who penned the pics “Dirty Pretty Things,” “Eastern Promises” and “Amazing Grace.”
Knight is also scripting the third installment of the “Narnia” series, “Voyage of the Dawn Treader,” which Michael Apted is helming.
