Middle Earth was written as a sort of pre-history to our world, so in a sense you are living in Middle Earth. The races in Tolkiens works faded into myth and legend and were almost forgotten save for stories. A neat idea to give some magic and wonder to our world. Narnia is much more...

He is not a tame lion after all.

I think he certainly has the look though I wonder about his acting range. I only really know him from James Bond. Andrew is an eccentric and I don't get eccentric vibes from Craig. Hopefully this is something in his acting range and he does not come across too stiff.

What is there to boycott at this stage? My boycott is with my dollars. If the movie look like garbage and looks like they will have changed and moved away from what Lewis created then I won't spend my money on the movie.

I personally do not see any gain in making this change. I think the audience is constantly assumed to be dumb and unable to connect or need something closer to them to connect to. Lots of period piece stories out there that people still love today, hundreds of years away. Narnia is one of those...

I really hope there is something else going on with the time period. This just lowers my already low expectations for the movie.

I stayed at L'Abri Fellowship in Greatham UK and that old manor house reminded me of the Professors house from The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Nothing like the Disney movie but it is a big old country Manor house that I am sure would have taken kids during the war when they got them out of...

The author who wrote a Narnia book for his children, or child if I remember correctly is Francis Spufford. He was not given a release by the Lewis Foundation to sell the book or release it. I have heard he tried very hard to write as Lewis did and from someone who had read it, they said he had...

People don't just want power for powers sake. That is ultra simplistic for how we operate. There is more to it than that, far more. And when you break these things down to their roots you will find they all stem from good. They are so twisted and bent though they can be hard to recognize. They...

She is a classic villain. Don't need to sympathize with her, she is the villain and that is all she needs to be. While I find some characters more interesting when there is something more behind them, in this case it is a simple beautiful story that does not need to go down the rabbit hole for...

I disagree, as does Lewis. I would recommend reading Mere Christianity if you have not already. Evil cannot create, it is just twisted or bent good. A great feeling is not wrong, so doing something to get that great feeling can be twisted and turned evil, but the base desire of feeling good is...

I think CS Lewis would disagree that there are people who are evil simply for evil's sake. "Badness is only spoiled goodness. And there must be something good first before it can be spoiled. We call sadism a vice because sexual desire is good in itself; we call envy a vice because personal...

How could there be an 8th? They are in heaven and heaven will lose all value if you add conflict and sin into that perfect reality. I guess there could have been some in-between story, but I think all good things should have a beginning and an end, not gone the American way of TV series where...

Definitely has amateur theatre vibes to it with the acting and casting. Skimmed through a little of the first video. Some AI use in it with this scene: https://gyazo.com/12e6a0237c9e1f127e629a717094fccd Not sure how they will be able to handle Charn or Narnia or the Wood between the Worlds...

Meh sounds about right. I could care less how the movie does. Without a doubt it will be no where near as good as the books and will never replace the books. Also the talks of this being a "“rock and roll” reimagining" tell me right off the bat it is going to be bad. Not sure when Hollywood...

My views of movies have changed so much in the last 5 years or so. I am not and would not be excited for any film adaptation for a story I love. Books are just so much better, movies are limited and prone to ruining what makes the books so great in the first place. I am still expecting Meryl...

I wonder what the length of the movie will be. They will have to be razor focused on certain elements of the story if it is a normal length film. Even a longer movie never lets you delve deep into characters. TV really has become the better medium for story telling, at least visual story...

Very cool and has me tempted! At least for the Baynes ones. The new ones just don't stand out to me. Baynes work is nostalgic and much more creative in their simplicity in my opinion, but that is subjective.

Tolkien Foundation aside, the studio knew what they were buying and they did it. I won't accept crap story telling and blame it on someone else because they chose to put out garbage. The estate does not owe Amazon or any other studio the rights to anything, they chose what to sell for whatever...

The only way we can have any civility without God sitting on the throne is to have governments. Sadly they regularly fall short and have the door open for those who use and abuse power. Anarchy leads to Might makes right as MrBob mentioned in his post. Rules and laws come about no matter what...
