I'm planning to see the movie whenever it comes out, but I'm afraid that my reaction will be the same as the last film, which was not very accurate to the book. If want a good version of VDT which is very close to Lewis, listen to the Focus on the Family radio drama. It isn't a movie, but the audio drama is best thing because you can create the picture in your mind.

VDT is surely easier to adapt than PC, because it has a strong linear plotline and fewer major characters (sometimes the burrow, I mean the How got a little crowded
). It should be harder for Walden to make it worse than PC than it is for a one-armed blind man in a dark room trying to shove a pound of butter into a wild cat's ear with a red-hot needle.

I hope it's made into a real sea voyage. The BBC version wasn't too bad, but it lacked technology and a large budget,which would have made the TV specials more convincing. The ship and the sea were authentic, but the storms and the sea serpent looked rather artificial. Also, being combined with Prince Caspian was not the best idea. The story was shortened to two hours when it should have been at least two and a half or three hours. Too much was lost in that adaptation. I don't expect this movie to be completely accurate to the book, but I hope it will be as close as possible.
