I don't comprehend how they could even suggest leaving one of the books out if they make more than just the first movie! They'd be stoned by...well...us! Plus, I liked HHB.

Hehe, I agree lou. They would be stoned.

How could the thought enter their minds???????

It should be made. It's just as worthy as the others.
 
*in an Engish/British accent(quite like the BBC era)* and i do hope they do. it shant be a pretty site if they don't. and anyway, should they make the Horse and His Boy, they should make the Magician's Nephew, also. it would be so sad to hear that they aren't to make the Magician's Nephew. indeed it would.
 
HHB is one of my favorite Narnia books... it's the only one I couldn't put down. I actually got in trouble for staying up reading it past bedtime, the first time I read it. I think that of all of the Narnia books, it has the plot that would be most easily transferable into a good film. Unfortunately, that's not always the deciding factor in whether or not a book is made into a movie. I voted that it has just as much a right to be made into a film as the other books. I hope they do make it. It is important to the culture of Narnia and the other countries around it, as others here have pointed out.
 
I should be very disappointed if it were not made. *tear forms in medial region of right eye* It was always my favorite after the last battle.
 
I'd hate to see what would happen if my sister found out that they weren't making HHB!! That is our most favorite book in the series, and pox on them if they don't!
 
I love HHB! It definately stand out from the rest of the books. I love the Arabic atmosphere! I shall resort to violence (again!) if they leave it out!
 
i agree

they better make all the chronicles. If they didnt it would feel like a missing piece to the puzzle, if you are makeing the chronicles you make all of them! :D
 
Who would play Susan, Edmund, and Lucy? If it's done soon, whoever plays them as adults at the end of this film could, but if it's much, much later, the children would have grown up enough. Of course, that would mean releasing it after The Last Battle, but since it won't be made before Prince Caspian, when should it be done?

I'd like to be a filmmaker. And I'd like to direct a new Ben-Hur. So I don't see why I shouldn't also like to do this, and The Magician's Nephew, if nobody else does, right?

Hey Andromeda, I agree with you! I don't remember who's palying who, but I did see a photo and I thought all the kids look a little too old to be the Pevensies. Peter is 17! (the actor is at least) I always imagined Peter to be 15 max. 17 sounds too mature! And does anybody know the reason why they are releasing the second book first?
 
age problem?

I rather like the fact that peter is 17. As he eventually becomes high king of narnia I think that by getting a actor this age allows a certain level of maturity to accompany a high king and the leader of his brother and sisters. On a similar note I do not like lucy being played by a 9 yr. old. When she discovers narnia through the wardrobe she shows a certain level of maturity by not going crazy and holding a converstation with a creature she has certainly never seen before. I just do not think a 9 yr. old girl could do this. Could any of you at 9?
 
The younger you are the less strange strange things seem. I think kids can deal with more because of their innocence maybe. Just a thought... (*
 
I'm pretty sure they will man. They will include all the stories i belive, whether or not it gets its own movie title i do not know.

Oh and welcome to the place man, hope you enjoy it.

Click to expand...

Sorry, NOSU, but I completely disagree with you there. I know I probably would have freaked out a lot less at 9 (or maybe younger? I believe that Lucy was 9 AT THE OLDEST) than now at meeting a strange creature. As for maturity, you must realize that these kids are growing up in England during WWII. There is no way they would be as immature as many kids (especially American kids) are today. And Peter being 17 is nearing the ridiculous, considering that he is still considered a boy in the story and in those days he would actually have been considered a man if he actually were that old. However, I don't mind the actor being that age. Actors generally are older than their characters, anyway.
