I don't know, rus... actually, to tell the truth, I emailed him after that interview, yes he acknowledges that in LW&W there were some things that would have been different had he been directing it - but that's the same if one of us here at the Wardrobe had been directing it too hey? But at the same time, I got the impression that he was happy over all with it, and why not - it did capture most of the book pretty well. And I get the impression from his response that PC will be similar in that respect - sure there's things that he'd want different, but over all he's happy with the project, and that puts my mind at ease...
I'll be honest, I think it's easy as fans of the book to get a bit "religious" about how close to the books the movies should be. And like Lewis was stealing past those watchful dragons and stain-glass windows of religion, I personally think that that's something the movies can do as they present the stories captured in those books.
