The Lion, the Professor and the Movies: Narnia’s Journey to the Big Screen written by Mark Joseph paints a picture of just how the current Chronicles of Narnia movies have made it to the big screen. Here’s the description from Amazon
On December 12th 2005 Hollywood woke up to discover that The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe had experienced the second largest December opening in film history. In a few short months it went on to become the largest-grossing film in history in the international marketplace. Thus began the opening shot in a 10-year saga that may see all seven books in the Narnia series on the big screen.
But where did these films come from? How were they made? How did these become some of the biggest films in history? Why did it take so long to bring them to the big screen? How were they marketed? What is the message of the films? How did Disney, a studio targeted for boycott by the Religious Right, become the distributor? Who was C.S. Lewis and what did he believe? All of these questions and more will be answered in The Lion, The Professor & The Movies: Narnia’s Journey To The Big Screen.
I like the sound of this book!! It looks very interesting!
yeah, this book sounds great, it might answer some questions about the mysterious process and decisions surrounding these movies!
