Hollywood Jesus interviews Michael Flaherty

Michael Flaherty Today Hollywood Jesus posted an interview with Michael Flaherty the co-founder and president of Walden Media. In this interview he mentions that The Voyage of the Dawn Treader will be sold on DVD/Blu-Ray by Easter and he even mentions www.NarniaFans.com in the interview. I enjoyed getting to meet Michael Flaherty when he was in Colorado Springs for the first screening of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in November. This week Michael Flaherty also was interviewed by Big Hollywood where he talked about the spiritual themes in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

“Me: My first question is probably kind of weird one, but as a fan of films and a fan who likes to collect films that I like, this has been a burning question in my mind. What does the change from Disney to Fox mean for future Narnia box sets for Blu-Ray and DVD? You have two distributors now, is that going to make it challenging to put together box sets where people can get all of the Narnia films in one set?

MF: You’ve just hit on something that there’s a team of lawyers right now who woke up early in Burbank are trying to figure out. That’s a very good question, but I think we’ll get a good solution.

Me: Okay, so you haven’t quite worked that out yet.

MF: No, no we’re hopeing to by Easter when this comes out on DVD.”

“Me: Yeah, well Narnia has a very dedicated fan base and how have the fans reacted to some of the early trailers and some of the early footage that you have shown? Has there been a good response, especially from the core fan base you’re going after?

MF: Yeah, and we didn’t want them to have to rely on just on those clips, so what we did was we went around and showed the film to probably 7,000 core fans, pastors and teachers. We got a great response from them and the word of mouth has been fantastic and there are two great sites out there, Narnia web and Narnia fans, and we’re getting really good reaction from those folks there.”
