I think it will be a challenge on how to do the transition from Earth to Narnia in the new film or series adaption. It's actually not easy to do on screen. I'm sure filmmakers are going have to re-imagine some of them.
In LWW, I think we have next to nothing to worry about. All it is Lucy walking into the wardrobe and has the child like wonder when she sees the snow falling in the woods. So I think it's pretty simple enough.
In PC, the book describes as the Pevensies feeling like something is pulling them. Then at an instant, they're in Narnia. The Walden got dramatic, with the epic train station disappearing. It will be interesting on how a new PC adaption will come up with that.
In VDT, the book describes as the kids getting smaller and the picture dragging them in. In the Walden, water was gushing out of the painting and flood the bedroom. I think it would be cool to see the kids getting smaller or the picture getting bigger. Yet, it might not happen that way.
In SC, it's pretty simple. Eustace and Jill are escaping from the school bullies and they see a door. They open the door, and they are in Aslan's country at first. Then Aslan blows each of them into Narnia. I think that will be kept pretty low key.
In HHB, there's no earth to Narnia transition since it' takes place during LWW. So there's next to nothing to worry about. Then they might decide to move the hunting of the white stag from LWW to HHB.
In MN, it might be a little tricky. Digory and Polly put on the rings, and first arrive in the Wood Between The Worlds. When they jump into one of the pools, they're in Charn, a dead world. Then in another pool, they're in Narnia, at the Creation. So I don't know how they're going to do that on screen.
In LB, it might be a little trickier. We get the story from a different perspective, and only get a glimpse of Earth when Tirian appears before the Seven Friends of Narnia. They might show Eustace and Jill on the train on the way to school. When the train starts going too fast, they cut to where Tirian is tied up to the tree and Eustace and Jill suddenly appear.
Any ideas on how a Narnia screen adaption could do a transition from Earth to Narnia? Will they go by how each are described in the books or will they have to re-imagine some of them?
