"Oh be quiet Eustace and don't be a fool." "We got to be happy. As if we hadn’t a care in the world. You two youngsters haven’t always got very high spirits, I’ve noticed. You must watch me, and do as I do. I’ll be happy."

I think it will be a challenge on how to do the transition from Earth to Narnia in the new film or series adaption. It's actually not easy to do on screen. I'm sure filmmakers are going have to re-imagine some of them. In LWW, I think we have next to nothing to worry about. All it is Lucy...

Thank you. When I was starting this discussion, I knew some would be like, "Hey, what do you mean differences I want? I want it to stay close to the book." The thing is that you can't expect it get it a 100% right. Non of the previous adaptions have done that. I want it to be different than the...

The new movie or series adaption will totally be different from BBC and Walden and even the animated LWW. Here's the thing: if you do a carbon copy of the previous adaptions, it's going to be a problem. So Netflix or whatever company that adapts Narnia will have to have their own take on it. I...

I wonder if they have thought that decapitating a person would have been too violent for young viewers. That may have been the reason why they went with Sosespian being swept away by the River-God (though some could argue it was a Lord of the Rings knock-off). I wonder if Douglas Gresham is...

The Walden filmed their Narnia film adaptions in New Zealand, the same location as Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit were filmed. While they do have great landscapes, I would think that a new series or film adaption would have different filming locations. I would like for each region (Narnia...

I was kind of thinking Emma Stone as the White Witch. She played Cruella in a recent Cruella movie. She might be good as the White Witch.

I wonder how they're going to get my favorite scene, Emeth's meeting with Aslan, right? I kind of think that in a movie, it could easily get cut out. It's kine of the thing with multiple endings or climaxes in the book, like Return of the King. A series might struggle with it as well. Another...

I actually haven't thought about that one. And what about the catch phrases, "By Jove" and "Great Scott"? I wonder if a movie or series adaption are going to have to change those.

Some may wonder if the dialogue in Narnia films or series should match what the books say. Maybe or maybe not. I think that even if the dialogue matches, a movie could still turn out badly. You probably can't do word for word adaption. You could possibly have the same line, though the wording...

I know there was various opinions about how successful it was. I think Andrew Adamson at one point thought about skipping Prince Caspian. I do agree about how they've changed Peter's character. There was even tension between Caspian and Peter in the movie. I've read a trivia that CS Lewis have...

I kind of wonder if Netflix doesn't do Narnia, if another company will pick it up eventually. If that were the case, what company would do it?

Today is the 15th anniversary of when Walden's Prince Caspian was released. I actually remember being in anticipation for it. When the movie came out, I've liked it. While not a perfect movie, I've liked it for what it is. It's almost crazy to think about that it came out that long ago.

And of course, what I hope they get right is my favorite scene, Emeth's meeting with Aslan, and not make it too cheesy. I can almost see it could easily get cut out in a movie. I think the difficulty with that is that in The Last Battle, you deal with multiple endings or climaxes. It's a common...

I just saw Anastasia in the Eugene area. The performance was impressive. They even had screen to change the scenery.

There's an idea. Perhaps we might see a shot of Digory's father in India writing a letter in voice-over. Walden did that with Susan for VDT, where we saw her in America, writing to Edmund and Lucy.

I think the "Caldron born" were more human than in the Disney. I actually remember the skeletons jumping out scaring the heck out of me. When I've said "light hearted", it's not as intense as Lord of the Rings.

I wonder how they would incorparate Digory's relationship with his parents. Will we see his father before he leaves for India? Perhaps when Mabel becomes sick, Mr. Kirke helps for a while. Then when he gets ready to leave for India, he will be the one to suggest that Mabel and Digory will be...

I've actually heard Disney acquired the rights to the Chronicles of Prydain. It makes me wonder if they're going to do an episodic series or will it be a film franchise? I've seen the Disney The Black Cauldron, which I'll admit it's not the best Disney movie, especially when compared to The...

That's true. I actually didn't think about that. Interesting thought. In each book, we get glimpses of each region in Narnia. So it might be interesting if a movie or series explores on each of them.
