    I also have grown to disdain when younger more "hip" creatives seem to disregard the work of all who came before. Case in point Ms. Obaid-Chinoy's comments seem to imply a women never had anything to do with Star Wars behind the camera, when there has been some great work already done by Deborah...

    Not only ado I share your response to Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's involvment in Star Wars, I'm annoyed that it was picked up, while Patty Jenkins Star Wars Rogue Squadron movie was cancelled.

    Silly Ideas for the Netflix Narnia Movies

    Considering Greta Gerwig's knack for working with actors she worked with before.... Michael Cera as Aslan. A good idea however, could be him as Reepicheep.

    A Chronicles of Narnia Nutcracker

    But you know...we could use the Water Rat that appears briefly in the opening of the Last Battle that tips Tirian off to something being amiss in Narnia. Not sure why, something about that rat always felt shifty

    A Chronicles of Narnia Nutcracker

    Inspired by Jasmine Tarkheena's "Narnia Christmas Carol" thread, I thought it would be fun to do another Narnian retelling of a Christmas classic. This time, it's the Nutcracker. Most of you are probably more familiar with the story thanks to the ballet or the film adaptations that use it as...

    A Narnia Christmas Carol

    Puggleglum, and a group of Marshwiggles, as the gentlemen talking on the London Street corner after Scrooge's death, saying how they won't go, it'll probably be a cheap funeral, etc. With this added nugget, Puddlgglum declared, "Oh, I'll go, but only if lunch is provided. But, I dare say that...

    Celebrate Advent with Hallow and CS Lewis

    I'm not sure! I personally can't learn much more about it without a membership, but this review gives some good screen shots of a few features and a rundown of the app. From what I gather it looks like it does, as at least one screen grab includes a few prompts. But, I may be wrong. Here's a...

    What is ONE thing you hope happens in the Netflix Narnia stuff, that you are concerned they won't do?

    One thing I'd like, especially when we come back to VoDt, it for the story to remain episodic. One thing that became all too common in 2010's fantasy movies is to try to give a "tighter" plot tread to stories that were either more episodic in nature, like Dawn Treader, or The Hobbit ( as studio...

    A Narnia Christmas Carol

    If were going for a straight one to one retelling, I'd actually go with the following: Definitely Andrew as Scrooge. With Digory Kirke as nephew Fred. Miraz as Jacob Marley ( greedy, covetous, would have to atone for some sins). Ramandu's daughter as The Ghost of Christmas Past ( most...

    Natalie Wood. She's the only one who lines up in the time-line to be remotely close to being a contemporary for Susan Pevensie. And hearkening back to my post featuring Father Christmas from Narnia being one and the same with Tom Bombadil and teh Ghost of Christmas Present... Father Christmas...

    Silly Ideas for the Netflix Narnia Movies

    Not only does Aslan playfully romp upon his resurrection in LWW, or lead the romp in Prince Caspian...he busts out the following dance moves in a 15 minute montage including "twerking", "flossing", "The Thriller", "the Hustle", "the YMCA", "The Chicken Dance" and "The Charleston".

    Connected to A Christmas Carol, The Spirit of Christmas Present is also Father Christmas from not only Narnia, but Tolkien's Father Christmas Letters and...it gets even better... Father Christmas was Tom Bombadil!

    Somewhat off topic, but there is a story in the Doctor Who Comic magazine from 2010 that saw the Doctor and Amy traveling back to London where they had a chat with Tolkien and Lewis. The Doctor even is the one who suggested Jack use a Wardrobe as the portal to Narnia.

    Sir Robin's Minstrel from Monty Python and the Holy Grail escapes just before he's eaten and slips through one of those chinks and chasms in our world and ends up in Narnia just and becomes Reepicheep's minstrel. And there is much rejoicing. (Unenthusiastic.) *Yeah.*
