In light of the news that director Gullermo Del Toro has left the Hobbit film,due to production delays ( http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2010/05/30/36920-guillermo-del-toro-departs-the-hobbit/) Who should take over. Some choices Peter Jackson: He started the LOTR films in the first place. Keep...

Well, the first teaser poster is on-line! Yeah! So what do you all think of it. Yes it's simple. The best teaser posters tend to be. ( look at the teasers for LOTR.) The tag-lines are perfect. The Aslan image is powerful, and I love the siloute of the ship in his eye. Any other thoughts?

I get the funny feeling on this forum that I'm the only one who attended public school. It isn't my fault. My parents did not have the funds to send me to a private school nor the resoruces ( or time ) to homeschool me ( which would have been detrimental. I was socially awkward and sheltering me...

SO I was up at the mall the other day and I saw in a jewelry store an add for "Pandora Jewels". It struck me as an odd choice for jewlery. Pandora in Greek mythology was given a box and told never to open it, however the gods gave her curiosity and she disobeyed them, and that unelashed all the...

No, it hasn't been announced that this will happen yet. However many in this thread have brought it up so I figured it should be discussed on its own. For me at least, I hope VODT is not in 3-D. Yes, Pandora in Avatar and Wonderland in the new Alice in Wonderland movie were amazing... but they...

Don't get me wrong, I love the character of Lucy. She's probably become my most favorite character in the chronicles. Yet at the same time, I have to wonder why would CS Lewis choose Lucy, the youngest of the Pevensie children and a girl, to be the first one to enter Narnia? Wouldn't it be...

It has been pointed out in other threads on this forum that, if Silver Chair becomes a film we may not see the ending, Aslan dispatching Eusatce, Caspian and Jill into the school and giving the bullies the beating they have deserved. Now, I have read some essays, even by Christiasn denouncing...

Let us say for a moment that the Narnia series ends up being completed on film. If that were teh case, in what order should the later films follow? 4: Silver Chair.- Most Logical choice. It follows VoDT sequentially and you already have Eustace cast and his school established. 5. Last Battle...

has any one here ever wondered what it was that Aslan said to Edmund after his rescue? Would any one care to speculate? What reasons could Lewis have had as an author for witholdign form the readers the nature of the conversation?

One of the biggest justifications for the change made to Peter's chartacer in the film Prince Caspian was that he was too "perfect" and therefore unrelatable. Contrary to this opinion, Devin Brown points out in the book Inside Prince Caspian that he does have a flaw, namely his doubts and that...

Now one of the other major flaws in PC"s perforamnce was the marketing ( or lack there of). Now we have hard that they plan to go to the techniuqes used with LWW, but what else can and should be done? 1: Advertise through Churches. Look at the success, not only of LWW, but Passion of teh Christ...

Something particularily interesting to note in Hrose and His Boy is the notion of Narnia and the North. It has often been said that Shasta and Bree are traveling North to freedom from bondage. Appropriatly, two other great journies of freedom, the Exodus of the Hebrew from Egypt, and the...

Something interesting I noted about Voyage of the Dawn treader, was the ending point of the journey. Typically in such literature( such as The Odyessey, The Aineid, or the Voyage fo St. Brendan) the characters travel from East to West. Even in LOTR the Isles of the Blessed are located in the...

I've read complaints by some that it is a bad thing that the filmakers have chosen unknown ( or virtually unknown) actors and actresses to portray the characters in Narnia. Personally I think this is one of the things the filkmakers have done well at. Would any one have prefered to have say...

So Star Trek fans are called Trekkies, Lord of the Rings fans are called Ringnuts or Tolkienaphiles, fans of the DC comics ( Superman, Batman) charcters are called "Johnny DC" and Marvel Fans ( Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk, Iron Man) are called "Marvel Zombies", so what is the collective name for us...

Ok, I know it's a long ways a way, and there is no gauarnteeing it will happen, but I figured for the sake of discussion, how about we discuss a certaina spect of the Last Battle. It has nothing to do with the end of the story or the batle istelf, but rather a tiny detail that may get some...

This thread is just for the fun of it, but let us say you could cast any actor, living or dead in an unoccupied role in the Narnia films, who would you cast and in what role and why. Seeing as we have five Narnian Chronicles left to see as film there is plenty of room to play around with...

Already on this forum there are numerous threads discussing the allegorical aspecst of Narnia. But Lewis was a Litererature PRofessor as well, and loved mythology, literature, and just stories in general. What other parallels to other works of literature, and mythology can you find in the chonicles?

Now bare with me a moment. One thing I loved in the film version of Return of the King is that they managed to work Tolkien's discription of Frodo sailing away into the dialogue as Gandalf said to Pippin, " They grey rain curtian of this world passes away and all turns to silver glass. And then...

I saw this over on the OneRing.net ( I'm sure many of you did too.) http://www.thebookseller.com/news/73781-page.html
