i think if they wanted to shoot it, they should've gone with the chronological order and shot it between LWW and PC. if they're doing it after SC or, worse yet, after LB, the connection is lost. shasta and bree are connected only to edmund and lucy (and ed and lu's appearance was little more than a cameo), if they're doing HHB much later, people won't be able to relate that edmund and lucy with the young edmund and lucy. other than that, the HHB story is too much of a deviation from the main plot. it works for the books but for a film franchise, people want to see familiar characters, familiar settings, and familiar storylines, which HHB lacks compared to the other books. a direct-to-dvd sequel can work, but i don't think a high-production value feature will be very lucrative, as much as i love the book.
 
I think they should've made hhb after LWW, and at the end of LWW, they shouldn't have shown the pevensies getting back to our world, in stead,a t the end of HHB they should've showed them coming out of the wardrobe. It would've made things way more interesting. So really there is no point, but that's my second favorite chronicle!
 
Of the 7 books in the Chronicles of Narnia, HHB is definitly up toward the top of my favorite. Probably my second favorite book under LWW. But let's be honest, HHB and LB will never be made in fear of offending Muslims and Arabs. They just are not politically correct books.:(
 
I think it is cause it shows more of the golden age of Narnia and plus thhb has such great quotes in it that i really like and its one of my fave books as well its in my top three Narnia books

No...I'm not talented, pretty, or skinny enough to be Aravis.

I think they should just go ahead and offend them....the Christians are the only ones offended these days, and I think the tables need to be turned.
 
I am really hopeful that they will make HHB. That was my favorite book out of the Narnia series, I think. It had a great story line and Shasta (Cor) and Aravis were kewl.

The Horse and His Boy is one of my favorites from the Chronicles after The Silver Chair and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. So yeah, I think it's totally necessary to produce the film.
 
I'd have to agree with most of you. HHB is actually the only book which is very minor in the timeline. It's actually supposed to be part of LWW.

But nevertheless, I'd want to see it. It would be really cool if all the books were made.

I'm looking forward to MN, HHB & LB. I've seen LWW, PC, VoTD & SC already -- through BBC. But of course, that doesn't mean that I don't wanna see it again. Of course I do! :D But at least I've seen the book on screen in action. And I don't think Douglas Gresham will leave any of the books out. :D

Great scott! Are you kidding? Of course it will be necessary! I love that book, not to mention the fact that C.S. Lewis saw fit to put it in the series, therefore it must hold significance to the rest of the books.

Blasphemy! Well, not really...
But still, THAHB is an awesome tale. It adds on to the Narnia tory, gives it depth. Plus, talking horses!
 
Sure it's necessary. It adds depth to characters we love. There are sides of Aslan seen in that book that are amazing and wonderful. I can't wait to see it. The Chronicles wouldn't be complete without all 7 books done.

I agree that it could give another look at Susan and help people understand why she ends up the way she does in LB. It's a chance to really flush out her character. HHB is another chance to help develop Aslan. It shows his goodness and yet his untame side which should be highlighted before LB as well. When all is said and done in LB, it would look pretty strange for the characters of Aravis and Shasta as well as all of the others to be there if HHB is left out. Personally, since it's a 7 book set it should be a 7 movie set as well. It wouldn't be right without it. The set of movies would always be a little lacking if any one book were cast aside.

Great Point! :)
 
Thanks! At least we know that they're planning on doing the 7 books provided that each of the films do well. So, I can't wait to see HHB. I think it was Richard Taylor who said that HHB was his favorite so we'll see what they come up with for it.
