There are quite a few characters in the books that are not named. Though it shouldn't surprise us that a movie or series adaptation would want to give some of these unnamed characters. Here's some that I could think of from each book- MN- Possibly Mavis for Jadis's sister and Albert or Paul for...

I think that this issue of racism when it comes to the Calormenes has been going on for years.

It doesn't bother me. Though I could see it would bother some people. The series were written for their time.

My favorite scene in the series is where Emeth meets with Aslan. While it may not be 100% from the book, it is my hope a movie or series gets it a right. The thing is not to make it epic, like a big helicopter shot. It should be more like a documentary, where we see a close up shot of Emeth...

Oh no! I'm not sure how I would feel about that! It's no wonder Hollywood tends to have anti-heroes these days.

Susan turned down Rabadash not because he was a Calormene; it was that he was a "cruel, luxurious, and self-pleasing tyrant", let alone that he eats garlic and onions. "Yet when he was with us in Narnia, truly this Prince bore himself in another fashion than he does now in Tashbaan. For I take...

[An eighth chapter. Hope you enjoy] Chapter Eight *** Rishda and his soldiers were searching through Chippingford for wherever Marietta had gone to. Soon they came to the home of a Narnian merchant. "Do you know the whereabouts of the tavern maid, Marietta?" asked Rishda, "Do you know...

This may sound random, but there's an implication that Calormenes smell of garlic and onion. Some might find the line a big offensive. There's been debate about that the depiction of the Calormenes was racist. Well, when I read the series as a ten year old, I actually didn't really think about...

The aspects of Calormenes in Narnia has not been the only issue. My all time favorite Shakespeare play is Othello: The Moor of Venice, and there's been debate if his depiction is racist. Well, I don't think we can know for sure what William Shakespeare's intentions were for Othello. Some might...

Well, one thing for sure, I think most Narnia fans would agree to stay away from California. That's where a lot of major Hollywood studios are located. I've heard they've been looking at Narni, Italy as a possible filming location. Well, it was originally called "Narnia", so it may have been...

I don't believe there's been a thread about our user names and what inspired us to use them in the forum. I would like to hear others as well. I'll go and start with mine. It's a combination of my real name and "tarkheena." I think it's because I have wanted to be a Calormene (a free and nice...

Narnia fans are usually dead-set on publication order. Then of course, right now, in the book stores, the set will be in Chronological order. I don't know if they still sell publication order. Perhaps you could put a sticker number over the spine. For instance, even though LWW has a number 2 on...

The White Witch's origin has been a topic of debate, including how she came to power in Narnia. In LWW, Mr. Beaver mentions that she's not a daughter of Eve, but half Jinn and half giant. In MN, CS Lewis gave her a different backstory, indicating she had originated from a different world...

I wonder if Edmund's gift would be discernment? I think the other Pevensies gifts represent something. For Peter, it's leadership. For Susan, it's prayer (the horn calling for help). For Lucy, healing (the healing cordial). So I would say that Edmund's gift would be good judgment, given his...

So, I'm sure we all want the new film or series franchise to be different than the Walden and BBC. A faithful adaption, yes, but not rush through it. For instance, the battle scene in LWW will obviously be different than the BBC and Walden. That is, not as epic as Walden but not quite as cheesy...

I can now almost picture the gnomes in The Silver Chair singing "Ding dong, the witch is dead" from Wizard of Oz.

It's possible that a Narnia musical could turn out cheesy. Oh yeah. Then it may be possible that Shift went to live far up to the West because no one wants to be his friend.

What about with Caspian X and Drinian? 'One guy's the King of Narnia... the other guy's the sea voyage captain!"

I think talk a lot about which character we're looking forward to most seeing in Narnia film or series adaption. For me, they would be Digory, Polly, Fledge, Bree, Hwin, Puddleglum, Jewel, Shasta and Corin (I wonder if they'll be play by twin brothers or have the same actor play both roles)...
