Walt Disney Pictures’ follow-up to Andrew Adamson’s blockbuster The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe has been pushed back from December 14, 2007 to summer 2008.

Created pro bono by Disney, the new campaign features scenes and characters from the movie “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” The launch coincides with Literacy Awareness Week (April 3-7) and the release of the movie’s DVD on April 4.

Walt Disney Co and Walden Media have started pre-production on a second film based on C.S. Lewis’ “Chronicles of Narnia” children’s books, a Disney spokeswoman said on Wednesday.

With global ticket sales of more than $580 million to date, he called “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe” a smash, adding that it “looks to be the beginning of a franchise for us similar to what ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ has shaped up into.”

Faced with promoting its movie version of C.S. Lewis’ “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe,” a book that many readers consider a contemporary classic, the Walt Disney Co. decided to tread carefully with a “classy” promotional program that highlights the book’s literary heritage.

A well-known Wanaka author’s book on the movie “Narnia – the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” will be launched in Auckland tonight. The title of the book is Cameras in Narnia: How The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Came to Life. It was written by Ian Brodie.

For Walden Media, recapturing imagination and rekindling curiosity doesn’t begin and end in the movie theatre. Walden Media will sponsor an exhibit tour to promote Walt Disney Picture’s and Walden Media’s upcoming film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, an adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ beloved 1950 novel, due to open in theaters on December 9, 2005.
