The article is called “Mark Johnson: Playing ‘Narnia’ nanny” and is part of their Youth Impact Report 2011: Bigscreen Chaperones.
Impact: Shepherded the two youngest “Chronicles of Narnia” stars into leading roles in “Voyage of the Dawn Treader.”
Next: The adaptation of the classic Chicano coming-of-age story, “Bless Me, Ultima.”
Causes: Westside Children’s Center, which his wife, Lezlie, founded in 1987.
In the past 12 months, Johnson has served as producer on the child-starring chiller “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” as well as “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.” The third “Narnia” installment shifted the focus from all four Pevensie siblings to the youngest two, played by Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley.
“They were secretly happy they were getting out of the shadow of the two older siblings,” Johnson says. “We don’t have a plan yet for the next one, but I would be heartbroken if it didn’t continue.”
