Disney pulls out of VDT

As for The Last Battle I wouldn't expect a strongly Christian ending from a secular filmmaker. It might be a disappointment-- especially when the new Narnia is depicted on the screen. Would it be like heaven as it is shown in the book? My guess is that it would fall far short of what Lewis intended. The movies, while they are entertaining, aren't as Christian as the books.

Did everyone really hate Prince Caspian that much? :-( I rather liked it.

I was disappointed that Voyage of the Dawntreader wasn't going to be made. It's my favorite book--and the special effects would have been AMAZING. I did worry they'd change or leave out significant events.

Who should Walden team up with if not Disney?

What I think most "fans of CoN" agree on is from a purely cinematic view PC was an amazing movie. And if you never read the books you couldn't understand what we're groaning about. But if you're even remotely familiar with the books and/or the author, you know “the movie” falls short of what C.S. Lewis had intended. Now I'm not implying that Jack wrote the CoN to indoctrinate his readers with Christianity. Nothing could be farther from the truth. His faith was a part of him and his reality so naturally bits of it would show up in his works. However we are complex beings with diverse experiences and views, (Jack included) and he was not a walking Christian robot. As a result, the book was full of MANY things that interested him and a part of his imagination and all of this found it’s way into his books too. I mean what does Bacchus have to do with Jesus/the bible? Truly he was an “equal opportunity author, LOL!!
But I digress, more to the point: For most of us (that is fans of CoN) we have such a "close" connection with Narnia that the PC the movie almost seemed like a betrayal. I'm not sure what hurts me worse, the thought of no VDT movie or a poor adaptation that misses the mark.

I don't think it's certain yet that there will be no VDT--just entirely possible.

I've heard it's already halfway filmed. Guess we have to keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. All right, I 'would be' disappointed if it's not going to be made. We'll see, I guess.

I like movies that are a lot like the books that they are based on, but relatively few follow the books with perfect accuracy. If the VDT film is better than the average adaptation I won't be disappointed.

i heard Fox is making the movie after all, I am happy with that It would have been sad if they stopped making the Narnia movies, although I hope they will make this one closer to the book

I plan to see all of the Narnia films-- even if they are bad. My curiosity about them wouldn't be satisfied if I missed even one.
