Is This Movie Going To Be Officially Made?

After watching Stardus, I feel like VotDT will be something similary maybe. Meaning th level of drama they have. That would be alright, and it ouldbe different from LWW. PC was kind of ...wel the whole book was kind of like...an intemission or summary or prologue type of thing.
 
It will be made as I expect monstrous success for PC DVD and toys during X-Mas. You know that in 1999 Episode One of the Star Wars series was profitable before it is evem released? That was thanks to the toys.
Toys rule, maybe even I will by one:p
 
well, VoDT will maybe with similar as Stardust, only on the boat scenes, I don't really think there are other things like VoDT in Stardust, though it's a GREAT GREAT movie :D
 
No, but I can understand your confusion. There's an entire forum called The Dawn Treader which is devoted to RPGs (and I wish they'd called something else). But there's also a section devoted to the books themselves. There you'll find a forum for each book, as well as several threads discussing all the books. The threads to which I refer are down in the forum devoted to the book Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
 
I hope that VDT will be made. It will be a sad day if the decision is made not to make the 3rd movie. But at least Prince Caspian is only 2 weeks away from being released on DVD!!
 
With the news about possible dropping of filming in Malta, let's hope the entire film isn't dropped. Remember pre-production is just a planning stage where you just set thing up. Production can still be cancelled. Even if they delay, that could cause them to lose the actors as they get to old to use and move on. I feel they are just trying to cut cost. They really over-budgeted on Prince Caspian and money was wasted on things that I fell didn't help the story. I do know that family films do well in economic downturns, as people try to find ways to entertain their families for less money. Going to the movie is still less than family trips. So let's hope VDT is still a go.:D
 
On a world-wide basis PC made a lot of money - nearly 500 million.

If they return to what Lewis wrote instead of tweaking it to substandard attempts to appeal to what they think an audience wants these days, they'll make huge bucks on VDT.

The next producer and the executive producers really need to read PLANET NARNIA by Michael Ward to realise what they are fooling with. That includes the adviser, Mr. Gresham. Also, all Narnia fans above 11th grade will benefit from the reading of this book. But be warned, it is not light reading. Still, after 35 years of reading TCN, I learned a lot from my first reading. I am re-reading it. It is that good.

Merry Christmas, Brother Inked! I have not seen you in so long!

I hope you are right, that the films will be made, but even more so, that if they are the producers will return to the real meaning and spiritual themes of the books. I will get the book you suggest - maybe someone will get it for me for Christmas!
 
Now with the news that the filming in Mexico is being scrapped, I really feel that VDT will never get out of pre-production. The Mexico filming was critical for most of the sea sences. To have to move to another location would mean starting from scatch, which means months of delay. And if Walden Media feel the actors are no longer suitable (they are getting older), the problems of recasting could kill the project. I never felt we would get all 7 books made into movies but I had hoped to get maybe 4 or 5 made. I know that PC made enough money to justify continuation of the series, but I just don't feel the film industry wants to make movies for a mainly Christian audience. And that is how they see it. And with Walden Media owning the rights to the movies for now, they won't have to worry about some competitor doing the movies.

I really hope that won`t happen.
 
Tim I also fear you are correct. I echo Inkspot's sentiments.

I really wanted the films to be made and wanted to see Narnia in the movies...but that's just it. I wanted to see Narnia as I did with the BBC series, as cheezy as they were in production value. If it's not going to be the Narnia in the books...at least sticking to the spirit of the characters in the books, then it's not worth it to me because people won't see Narnia. They won't see the amazing work that Jack made. They'll see something much less. No amount of costuming or speciail effects can make up for where scripts are lacking.
