They’ve released another part of the interview conducted with Douglas Gresham regarding the screenplay for Narnia 4: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair. In this update, he talks about what he learned from the productions of the first three Narnia films, and how that experience has changed a lot of what The Silver Chair might have been. The large setting of three characters walking across the landscape of Narnia for about two hours doesn’t really make a very compelling movie, so things are going to happen. What things? We’ll have to wait and see.
Gresham goes on to talk about what he feels Lewis meant Narnia to be when he was writing the chronicles, as well as his hopes for people as they are exiting the theatres.

It would make for a wonderful 3D film for anyone to enjoy if The Silver Chair could be filmed as a Narnia equivalent of Shakespeare’s expansive Antony and Cleopatra as well as having a great story to tell.
