Will Jeremy Sumpter be too old for Shasta? Is that the kid from Charlie & the Chocolate Factory? He looks like Shasta to me, but when would they film it, I wonder?
 
HHB is Richard Taylor's favorite! I know he won't want to skip that movie.

It will be interesting to see if they get a set of identical twins for HHB or if they go with split screen technology. It would make it an easier film to make in some ways with twins...they could both play Shasta in some ways (which would help with child labor laws) and then split the parts when it comes to needing Cor and Corrin together.
 
Oh, good point. I had quite forgotten that there needed to be two of them!!!
 
Unless they want to do split screen technology as used in The Parent Trap....but I think with child labor laws and with the amount of filming needing to be done it would be best to have a good set of identical twins.

I think it would be good to get twins that are not well known yet as well. I'm sure some would want the boys from the Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and they're good kids, but they need ones that look more alike and who are British I think. It will be interesting to see what age they settle on for the boys. They'll need to be younger than Skandar since Edmund calls them boys in the story and questions their ability to fight. He will be around 19-20 then I think when HHB is filmed...give or take a bit. The actors now would need to be around 4-5 years younger at least I'd think. So they'd have to be close to 10-11 years old now. We'll have to wait and see I guess.
 
Oh please. I think it's obvious these movies will be successful.

Just look at how good the first movie was. Now think about the second.
 
Shasta's twin doesn't come into the story nearly as much as Shasta, just a little bit in Tashbaan and a little bit at the end, so I would think they could manage with one actor. If he were perfect for the part ...
 
People not otherwise familar with the Chronicles, upon seeing the LWW movie, will come away thinking that no human beings were EVER indigenous to any part of the Narnian world. Actually, even during the time when Jadis ruled Narnia proper, there were humans living in parts of the Narnian world that were out of reach of her power. HHB is valuable for showing something of what forms human civilization took in those regions.
 
Disney said they were going to make ALL seven movies. The Horse and His Boy I am excited for as much if not more than the others. :cool:
 
I'm sure they will. If I remember correctly it's Richard Taylor's favorite and I think maybe Isis's favorite book of the Chronicles...they'll push for it I think.

I hope that they can find a good set of twins for it. I bet they will. I agree with you CF, HHB establishes that there were other people groups in the surrounding areas. Without it a good portion of LB won't make sense in the movies without that sort of introduction to the Calormens and the people of Archenland.
 
yeah, i agree, it's important to have the horse and his boy, not just because it's my favourite =P

i can't wait for that one, even though i'll be waiting a while. *sigh*.
