LOTR, now Narnia...
Looks like the next fantasy franchise is in the works since LOTR was such a hit... The Chronicles of Narnia was more geared for kids though. It'll be pretty "Harry Potter"-esque.
Like all wannabes after a hit, it'll probably be a disappointment.

Uhh.... There's already been a halfway decent Chronicles of Narnia set of movies made, one for each book. I only say halfway decent because (although it follows the books well) all the actors are horrid British, and all have the frelling British accent, which I can't stand listening to through ONE movie, let alone all the rest of them. Otherwise, the acting itself seemed good. I don't know why someone hasn't already tried to mass-market those movies with all the rest of the success.
I think he refers to the animated set HERE

Could this be because the books are British, hmm? Besides, I don't recall the accent being so very bad at all. Some American accents are horrible, by the way.Stupid wrote:I only say halfway decent because (although it follows the books well) all the actors are horrid British, and all have the frelling British accent, which I can't stand listening to through ONE movie

Most likely . By child, I was referring to around second grade. I hope that a college freshman is considered less childish than an elementary school student, but then I can't be sure .Krom wrote:In 5-10 years you will laugh at how silly of a statement that really is.Top Gun wrote:I loved the Narnia series as a child.

This might be good if they do not play into the symbolism C.S Lewis intended and instead just make a movie to keep the kids entertained.Jeff250 wrote:This might be good if they play into the symbolism C.S. Lewis intended instead of just trying to make a movie to keep the kids entertained.
When my peers and i read the series as kids we read it for the fantasy not for symbolism. Havn't people had enough allready.

Interestingly enough, I read the books when I was waaaay too young to get the symbolism, yet I "got" the symbolism.
Very, very Jungian and archetypical, those books are.
I'd love to see a very well-done set of movies. I just re-read that series last year, so it's not just for kids.
Uhh..well..nevermind.
I AM NOT CHILDISH!
