Yes, I hope LWW kills King Kong as well. Aslan could take a giant monkey any day!

No kidding, king kong would of have been an hour shorter if the girl and the monkey didn't stare at each other half the time they did. :p

Personally, I don't care if The Magician's Nephew or The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe came out first, I'm just really gald they didn't try to mush all the books into one film like the did with Series of Unfortunate Events.

If they hadn't done that with SOUE then there would be a lot of half-hour movies. :rolleyes:

Have you taken your medicine this morning. -_^
 
Could it be that it is a very slow movie? After seeing LWW, nobody would want to see the MN...But I do hope they make The Last Battle...

I felt suicidal during King kong, but that's beside the point. I think they aren't going to make Magians Nephew for a while because it's not as well known as LWW or PC. :D
 
it would be interesting to find out mooooore later how narnia started to BE, how lamp post got to narnia and wardrobe was made...

so, i say: go as a publishing went...

:D
 
They don't make "The Magician's Nephew" into a movie because Peter Jackson broke into the prop room and stole all the rings....

Actually, when looking at Narnia stories, they don't have the predictable sameness of Brian Jacques' Redwall (I'm a fan and even I admit it...as Yogi Berra once said, "It's deja-vu all over again!")

Some of the stories won't fit a certain profile that the makers of LWW have in mind. Even when punched and stretched to the point of shame.

The Magician's Nephew is in some ways a more psychological horror. You have to get in the characters' heads more, and that is difficult to write into a screenplay that would be superficially a lot like LWW.

On top of that you have a lot of extreme transformations that would be very expensive AND difficult to do in a way that conveys the right emotional touch. Such as the gold and silver tree from the coins. Some people may find things like this unintentionally funny.

And geez, create an entire universe from NOTHING while the audience watches. Biblical when read. Star Wars when visualized.

There is no single moment in the entire book that could not be done using existing technologies. It's a trick of doing them in a way that conveys the right emotional mood when you don't have an omniscient narrator saying, "She's calm on the outside, but inside she's all jangled like an overwound clock in a runaway freight train." :rolleyes:

And don't look for that line...I made it up. :D
 
^ Uh... ya, what he said... ;)

I also think that they made LWW first because more people have heard of that book in comparison with the other books... more money for them... :)

lol that was funny. it took me a second to get it, and then I realized you said Peter Jackson and it all clicked. LOL.
 
I think

I personally think they should have made the movies in order in which the books are. I mean the way the books are tells the story so good.:D
 
Having an entirely separate cast of characters except for Aslan and Jadis (the young Digory Kirke would count here as a separate character from his own grownup self in LWW), they could run a separate production company _concurrently_ with whatever other book was being filmed. And a strong argument in favor of doing this is AGE--for actress Tilda Swinton. She's already what, forty-plus? If they wait to film TMN until after "Silver Chair" has been filmed, the poor lady simply will NOT look so young and attractive as she does now. Unless they rejuvenate her by CGI effects all the way through.
