Somehow, I managed to miss 20th Century Fox being visionary and awesome and getting on board to produce/distribute the 2nd best of the Narnia books.
It looks like “Voyage of the Dawn Treader” will actually get made, and it’s up for a December 2010 release. I hope the series can hold up until “A Horse and His Boy” is made. That’s my favorite Narnia book.
Walden Media really has to be careful, though. The Narnia movie franchise runs the same danger of running out of steam as the Harry Potter movies. That is to say, even though the movie-making is top-notch, the series just gets bored. It’s almost as if the movies themselves get weary of being made. I know that’s anthropomorphizing a film, but that’s the best way I can describe it off the top of my head.
In any case, I’m glad Dawn Treader is back on the docket.
